During a special meeting, the Grand County Board of County Commissioners approved enacting Stage One Fire Restrictions, effective Friday, June 12, 2026, at 12 p.m.
The Grand County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with local fire districts and federal partners, consistently monitors fire conditions and the necessity of fire restrictions. Decisions are based on a scientific fire restriction matrix utilized across northwest Colorado. Upon reviewing the latest data, Sheriff Brett Schroetlin recommended and Commissioners approved implementing Stage One Fire Restrictions (Resolution No. 2026-06-08).
The Commissioners’ decision is the result of a collaborative effort between the Sheriff, local fire districts, the Bureau of Land Management’s Kremmling Field Office, the Sulphur Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, and the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest.
