Burn Ban for all of San Juan
County
As of today, August 31, 2017,
there is a county-wide burn ban being enacted. This means no outdoor burning of
recreational campfires or outdoor burning of wood in fire bowls or patio fire
places.
Charcoal and propane barbeques
continue to be allowed outside of parks and campgrounds. Please use extreme
caution with outdoor cooking and keep a charged hose nearby or a bucket of
water if possible.
This burn ban coincides with the
closing of all burning in state parks in San Juan county as well as an expected
period of hot weather with temperatures increasing over the course of the Labor
Day weekend
