Jeffco Commissioners approved the county’s new wildfire protection plan to ⬇️ risk. The plan expands the wildland urban interface to 91% of Jeffco. That’s key to attracting much needed grants to help homeowners & more. Thx @jeffcosheriffco Keating & partners for your leadership!

Due to more accurate mapping, the #TurkeyTracks5Fire_CO size has been updated to 30 acres. Expect to see smoke in the area today as firefighters clean up unburned pockets of fuel the interior of the fire footprint. More Info: psiccfireinfo.blogspot.com/2024/09/fire-a… @dcsheriff @SheriffTeller

All operations are normal here on the #MonumentFC_RX. Test ignitions were successful and ignitions are continuing. Smoke is lifting well today.

#MonumentFC_RX has begun test fire. Smoke may be visible from Colorado Springs, I-25 & Monument.

There is considerable recreation activity near the #GreenMountainRX again today. Please look out for firefighters and equipment and stay out of the burned area to reduce your risk of injury. There are areas of heat & other potential hazards.

All ignitions have been completed for the #GreenMountainRX. Area residents please be aware that both smoke and flame may be visible overnight. Flame is from the interior of the burn area; crews are patrolling overnight to ensure the perimeter is secure.

While smoke from large-scale wildfires can impact large areas, smoke from prescribed fires is carefully considered and can generally be avoided with some preplanning. Visit AirNow.gov to get information on air quality in your area. #WildfireCrisisStrategy
