Merrial A. Frazier helped shape Gypsum’s early story. Mayor from 1956–1960, he first arrived in 1923, farmed for decades, and later served as a radio dispatcher for the State Highway Patrol. A true community pillar, active in local government and the IOOF Lodge.

PLEASE BE AWARE: Stage 1 Fire Restrictions go into effect tomorrow, June 10th.

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Implemented In Eagle County

Eagle County, Colo. -Due to the less favorable weather conditions and lack of moisture throughout Eagle County, all of Eagle County will be implementing “Stage 1” fire restrictions that will take effect on Wednesday morning, June 10, 2026 at 12:01 a.m.

The Eagle County Sheriff has consulted with local fire chiefs, state and federal partners, and other experts regarding fire danger and has decided to implement restrictions. These decisions are based on specific moisture measurements in vegetation and other risk factors such as predicted weather, available resources and amount of current fire activity.

The restrictions that will be implemented and remain in place until further notice are;

-Campfires are only allowed within designated fire grates in developed campgrounds (i.e., a metal, in-ground containment structure -- fire pans and rock campfire rings are not acceptable). Liquid or gas-fueled stoves and outdoor fireplaces with shut-off valves may be utilized in areas with at least 15’ of clearance to combustibles.
-No fires of any type, including charcoal, outside of developed areas.
-No smoking except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or in a barren area free of vegetation.
-No use of explosive materials, including explosive targets.
-No welding or operation of an acetylene or other similar torch with open flame, or any other spark-producing device, except from an area that has been cleared of vegetation and with a fire suppression device.
-No operation of any internal combustion engine without a spark-arresting device properly installed and in working order.
-No personal fireworks.
-Outdoor recreational shooting is permitted only in pre-approved, designated areas.

We want to remind our community, as well as visitors to the area, that you are our first line of defense in preventing wildland fires. With the start of summer, we understand the excitement—but with heightened fire danger, it’s more important than ever to recreate safely. Thank you everyone for doing your part to keep Eagle County safe and beautiful.

Restricciones de fuego Fase 1 implementadas en el condado de Eagle
Eagle County, Colo. -Debido a las condiciones climáticas menos favorables y la falta de humedad en todo el condado de Eagle, se implementarán restricciones de fuego de “Etapa 1” en todo el condado, que entrarán en vigor el Miércoles 10 de Junio 2026 a las 12:01 a. m.

El Alguacil del Condado de Eagle ha consultado con los jefes de bomberos locales, socios estatales y federales, y otros expertos sobre el peligro de incendios y ha decidido implementar restricciones. Estas decisiones se basan en medidas específicas de humedad en la vegetación y otros factores de riesgo, como el clima previsto, los recursos disponibles y la cantidad de actividad de incendios actual.
Las restricciones que se implementarán y permanecerán vigentes hasta nuevo aviso son las siguientes:

-Las fogatas solo están permitidas dentro de las parrillas designadas en los campamentos desarrollados (es decir, una estructura metálica empotrada en el suelo; no se aceptan bandejas para fuego ni anillos de roca para fogatas).
-Se pueden utilizar estufas de líquido o gas y chimeneas exteriores con válvulas de cierre en áreas con al menos 15 pies de distancia de materiales combustibles.
-No se permite ningún tipo de fuego, incluido el carbón, fuera de las zonas desarrolladas.
-No se permite fumar, excepto dentro de un vehículo o edificio cerrado, en un lugar de recreo desarrollado o en una zona árida sin vegetación.
-No se permite el uso de materiales explosivos, incluyendo balas trazadoras o blancos incendiarios
-No se permite soldar ni utilizar sopletes de acetileno u otros similares con llama abierta, ni ningún otro dispositivo que produzca chispas, excepto en zonas despejadas de vegetación.
-No se permite utilizar motores de combustión interna sin un dispositivo antichispas correctamente instalado y en buen estado de funcionamiento.
-No se permiten fuegos artificiales personales.
-Los tiros recreativos al aire libre están permitidos únicamente en áreas designadas y aprobadas previamente.

Queremos recordarles a nuestra comunidad, así como a los visitantes de la zona, que ustedes son nuestra primera línea de defensa para prevenir incendios forestales. Entendemos la emoción que sienten con la llegada del verano, pero con el mayor riesgo de incendios, es más importante que nunca disfrutar de actividades recreativas de forma segura. Gracias a todos por su contribución para mantener el condado de Eagle seguro y hermoso.

🔥 FIRE DANGER INCREASING TO HIGH ACROSS EAGLE COUNTY 🔥

Eagle Valley Wildland and our partner agencies are increasing fire danger to HIGH throughout Eagle County.

Why the increase?

While many people think of grass as the primary wildfire concern, our biggest drivers right now are timber and brush fuels. Heavy dead and down fuels, dense timber stands, and brush fields continue to dry and are becoming increasingly receptive to ignition. These fuels can support intense fire behavior and make suppression efforts much more difficult.

At the same time, grasses at lower elevations are beginning to cure and become more receptive to fire spread.

🌡️ Weather Outlook:
• High temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s
• Afternoon humidity values in the single digits and low teens
• Increasing winds through the weekend and next week
• Wind gusts potentially reaching 40–50 mph
• Little to no meaningful precipitation in the forecast

⚠️ There are currently NO Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches in effect, but conditions will be monitored closely. If forecasted weather develops as expected, portions of Eagle County could experience Red Flag conditions later this weekend and into next week.

As conditions continue to dry, we ask everyone to remain vigilant and do their part to prevent human-caused wildfires.

✅ Secure trailer chains
✅ Avoid parking in dry grass
✅ Use caution with equipment that can create sparks
✅ Stay informed on local fire restrictions and conditions

One less spark means one less wildfire.

Thank you to everyone's efforts in controlling these fires. We appreciate you!

Let's all do our part to keep our communities safe!

🔥 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥

As temperatures rise and vegetation continues to cure, grasses throughout Eagle County are drying out and can ignite easily from even a small spark.

A single mistake can quickly turn into a wildfire.

✅ Keep grass mowed to less than 3 inches around homes and structures.
✅ Maintain vegetation along roads, driveways, and access routes.
✅ Never park vehicles on tall grass. Hot exhaust systems can ignite dry vegetation.
✅ Use extreme caution when welding, grinding, cutting metal, or performing other hot work in or near dry grass.
✅ Always have water, a shovel, and a fire extinguisher readily available when conducting any work that could create sparks.

Dry grass + heat + wind = increased wildfire risk.

Wildfire prevention starts with all of us. A few simple actions today can help protect homes, neighborhoods, and our entire community tomorrow.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Eagle County safe.
