CSFD Fire Marshal Kris Cooper has ordered burn restrictions within the City of Colorado Springs to be rescinded, effective Friday, May 29, at 12 p.m.

Recent moisture across the region has contributed to a substantial recovery of dry fuels and reduced the immediate risk of wildfire activity within city limits.

Although restrictions are being lifted, residents are reminded that certain activities remain prohibited year-round within Colorado Springs, including:
- Recreational fireworks requiring ignition, including but not limited to sparklers, rockets, fountains, and smoke bombs
- Burning trash, rubbish, yard waste, or construction material
- Open burning by non-governmental entities

I had the opportunity to visit the @csfdpio training complex and witness firsthand the rigor, discipline, and intensity it takes to prepare for duty. More than two dozen recruits are currently training to join one of the most respected and nationally recognized fire departments in the country.

@cityofcos is safer because of their courage and willingness to run toward danger when others run away. Thank you for answering the call to serve.
