The Stage 1 Fire Ban has been lifted in unincorporated areas of Fremont County along with areas in the Canon City Area Fire Protection District and the Florence Fire District (that includes Penrose). This means you may now have campfires. As always, you must have a burn permit and permission prior to open burning.
