While the traditional Independence Day cookout in the local park is out, residents can still cook outdoors on private property. Fire pits must be fueled by natural gas, and outdoor grills can run only on liquid propane or charcoal.
A hodgepodge of fire restrictions at the county level means many of the campsites on U.S. Forest Service lands had already banned campfires.
Teller County is under Stage 2 fire restrictions, meaning no campfires. On Wednesday, Woodland Park also enacted Stage 2 fire restrictions.
The burning activities banned can differ between jurisdictions. Here's a list of local areas under fire restrictions, and links offering details:
