LA VETA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

Current Fire Danger
 As of June 26, 2009, the current fire danger for the region is moderate. Fine fuels have greened up but are now curing out - especially the cheat grass. Other fine fuels will dry out as the summer progresses. Please have water and tools around to extinguish a fire quickly when doing activities that might create a spark.
Up-to-date fire information from the U.S. Forest Service and NOAA can be found on our Community Links page.

Please be careful when burning, monitor your fire at all times, have a charged hose ready and avoid any burning on windy days.

Burning in Huerfano County.
As always, no burning of tires or cars. Monitored campfires are allowed. If you are burning trash in a barrel or generating noticeable amounts of smoke, please call the sheriff dispatch at 738-1044 prior to burning. Burn permits can be requested through Chief DeTray or Capt. Stromberg at 742-3656.
