Fire restrictions lifted in Pueblo County
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) announced Thursday that effective immediately, the county is no longer under Stage 1 fire restrictions.
Pueblo County had been under Stage 1 restrictions since April 21, 2023.
According to the PCSO, Sheriff David Lucero and fire chiefs reviewed fire information and determined that as a result of recent rainfall, the current fire danger had improved enough to lift restrictions.
The sheriff's office still wants to remind Pueblo County residents to adhere to Red Flag warnings when they are issued and report all controlled burns. Controlled burn reports can be called in at (719) 583-BURN (2876) or made online at www.pueblosheriff.com.
