BLE follows the U.S. Forest Service for fire restrictions and bans to protect our neighborhood. Stage 2 fire restrictions are in place for the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. The Lake County Sheriff has also implemented similar restrictions. Details on the restrictions related to outdoor fires, smoking, welding, using explosives, and using a motor vehicle off national forest roads can be found in the links below:

The U.S. Forest Service restrictions are in place until August 1, 2026, unless rescinded.
A link to the current fire restriction links has been added to the right side of the homepage. The U.S. Forest Service website should be used to determine what restrictions are in place, as the BLE website may not be immediately updated.
