Fire crews have completed a test fire and verified that conditions are good for prescribed fire ignitions today, Sunday, May 19, for the Forsythe II Prescribed burn area. Smoke may be notably visible in the Gross Reservoir area as well as along the Front Range.

Fire managers work closely with experts to minimize the impacts of smoke. Air quality is carefully monitored before and during a prescribed fire and all prescribed burns comply with state air quality regulations to minimize impacts to communities.
