SW Colorado Fire Restrictions

[endorice]

Unit 65 is all Uncompahgre National Forest so you should be fine as far as access goes.

I should have checked closer. Thanks for the correction!

Always have a plan B, C, D. This is throwing a wrench into a lot of people's plans.

Below is a link that will display a Google + GIS map for the 416 fire and Burro file. Full disclosure - I am the guy that produced the map. For info about the map, please click “Map tips” in the upper left corner.

There was an infrared overflight Monday night and new fire perimeters were determined by fire staff. The 416 fire has burned 23,378 acres and the Burro fire has burned 2,337 acres. The map displays this latest perimeter data.

I updated the explanation of the satellite hotspot data on the "Map tips" page). It is easy to misinterpret the hotspot data so please take a moment to read that short explanation.

Since the San Juan National Forest is closing I added the ‘proclaimed' boundary of that forest to the map.

If you zoom out on the following map then it will look better if you change the basemap. The button to change the basemap is next to the "Menu" button.

Colorado is looking FOR a tropical storm to pay them a visit, whereas we folks here in Louisiana hope to never see another one. Hope you guys get all the rain you need. I will be in units 78/81 the second week of October.

Yep, Happy Father's Day- but no fishing or Bar B Q. Rainy Day inside kinda stuff.

Looking like rain this weekend for the area. Hope as much makes it as the forecasts are showing.

Now, the burn area is looking to be a high risk for mudslides with all of the rain.... can’t win.

 

[H2PVon]

Well? Any updates?

 

[justinspicher]

Still closed.

 

[orionthehunter1]

We got rain but not enough to put the fire out or put a dent in our drought. At least it didn't cause any mudslides in the burn area

 

[Poser]

25% contained

 

[orionthehunter1]

The Herald said 30%

In the eyes of the usfs the rain was not enough and talk is that even more areas will follow the stage 3 that the San Juan put in place..

Or the heads of the Uncompahgre, Gunnison, San Isabel, Pike, and Rio Grande National Forests are getting ready to put stage 3 restrictions in place if we dont get rain. The forcast is for 10 days of dry weather with above average temps/wind..

I wonder what they will do for guys who drew tags as it looks like 1/3 of the state might close...

 

[Laelkhunter]

Anyone know what GMU Units are involved? I've looked at the maps in a couple of the replies here, but can't distinguish any of the areas. I checked the Colorado Game & Fish website, and can't find anything mentioned about closures.

 

[Bulldawg]

It's likely that even if they close down the forest that they will open up prior to hunting season as we start getting into the rainy season, well hopefully at least!
