Fire crews have completed a test fire and verified that conditions are good for prescribed fire ignitions today, Monday, April 14, for the Magic Feather prescribed burn area. Over the weekend, firefighters continued to patrol and work in the area, ensuring perimeters remained secure and monitoring local conditions. In the interest of public and firefighter safety, a forest closure remains in effect for the area.

Smoke may be visible in the Red Feather Lakes and Northern Front Range communities. Fire managers work closely with experts to minimize the impacts of smoke. Air quality is carefully monitored before and during a prescribed fire and all prescribed burns comply with state air quality regulations to minimize impacts to communities.
