Boulder announced plans November 2 for prescribed burns on city open space south of Eldorado Springs Drive and west of Highway 93. The city said the work would take place only if weather and available resources met its safety criteria.
Trained fire personnel are to oversee the burns with equipment and additional crews on site. The city identifies fuel reduction, habitat management and invasive-plant control as the reasons for the work.
This is a conditional burn plan, not confirmation that a specific day’s smoke is from an authorized operation. Residents can check the city’s prescribed-burn webpage for updates or sign up for day-of notices by texting CitySafe to 888777.
