Colorado Fire Restrictions

The Colorado Division of Emergency Management formerly maintained a fire restriction page here, however as of March 23, 2009, CDEM is no longer able to maintain the listings. This site is intended to provide the same information. Local officials can send their updates to cofireban@gmail.com. There is no cost associated with listing your current fire restriction status.

Oklahoma fire restriction information can be found here.
