FIREWISE INFORMATION Always give emergency vehicles the "right of way." Please pay attention to and obey announcements about fire conditions. Wood stove and fire place ashes can remain hot and cause fires up to one week. Place ashes in metal containers and let them get cold before discarding. Store firewood away from your home. For mitigation purposes around your property, we recommend that trees around your home be cut back up to 30 feet away from the structure. Tree branches may be cut up to 15 feet above the ground. In order to burn any materials on your property you must obtain a "Burn Permit" from the Teller County Sheriff. Call (719) 687-9652 for information about permits. You are required to follow all Burn Permit instructions. Your address numbers should be clearly marked on your home and on the entrance to your driveway. Keep debris at least 25 feet from your structure and keep driveways clear for emergency vehicle use.
