IMPORTANT NOTICES/ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
Colorado County is not currently under a burn ban. Colorado County Emergency Management requests that prior to starting any controlled burning (woodpiles, fields or large refuse piles), please call the Colorado County Communications Center at 979-732-2388, option 1. They will ask you for the location and a contact number. By doing this you will help prevent the needless dispatching of volunteer fire departments and will also receive information if a Burn Ban or Red Flag Warning is in place.
