So far, March has not brought much moisture to the lower elevation fire zones of the Front Range. Conditions are dry and getting drier. Spring is still officially a week away and we're already dealing with forest fires, not only here but in Boulder County as well. We urge all residents to be extremely careful with fire or any potential ignition source whatsoever.
The Grey Rock Fire is now 100% contained.
