*Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests Rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions*

(Delta, CO, Sept. 02, 2026) — All lands managed by the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests will rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions beginning September 3 at 12:01 a.m., restoring conditions to unrestricted fire use.

Recent precipitation and improved fuel moisture levels across the forest have reduced overall fire danger, allowing fire managers to lift restrictions. While conditions have improved, fire personnel emphasize that wildfire risk is never fully eliminated.

“This has been a busy fire season. Thank you to all our visitors and local communities for respecting the restrictions during these months of elevated fire danger,” said Chad Stewart, GMUG National Forests’ Forest Supervisor. “As we rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, we encourage everyone to remain attentive when recreating. Responsible fire practices protect both people and the landscape we all value.”

With restrictions lifted, campfires are once again allowed outside developed campgrounds and recreation sites. However, neighboring federal, state and local jurisdictions may still have restrictions in place. Visitors should verify current rules for the specific area they plan to visit before engaging in any activities involving fire or other ignition sources.

Fire managers remind forest visitors to continue practicing safe fire habits, especially in areas with dry vegetation or heavy dead and downed trees. Wildfire prevention practices include:
• Never leaving a campfire unattended.
• Using designated fire rings or established fire sites whenever possible.
• Clearing flammable materials around campfire areas.
• Fully extinguishing campfires using the “drown‑stir-drown‑feel” method until cool to the touch.

Even accidental ignitions can result in civil or criminal penalties. Learn more about campfire safety at www.smokeybear.com.

For updates on fire conditions, recreation information, and forest alerts, visit the official GMUG website or follow us on Facebook.
