Montrose County has lifted Stage 1 fire restrictions for all unincorporated areas of the county effective at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
Recent moisture and cooler temperatures have improved fuel conditions, with additional moisture expected in the coming days. At this time, no fire restrictions are in effect.
Even without restrictions, please continue to use caution with campfires, outdoor burning and other activities that could spark a fire. Make sure campfires are completely extinguished before leaving the area and avoid burning during windy conditions.
