Summit County and its towns have lifted fire restrictions! We want to thank everyone for your patience, tolerance and cooperation with making this one of the safest local fire seasons in recent memory -- especially given how dire our situation was going into and throughout the summer, with record-low moisture levels and wildfires all around. Well done, everyone!

Please remain vigilant: We're not out of fire season until we get snow on the ground, and even then, we can have wildfires at any time of the year. So if you see smoke where it shouldn't be, call 9-1-1.

As we ease back on fire restrictions we want everyone to remember a couple of things:

1. Backyard campfires in Summit County require a permit from your local fire district. If you have a permit, you also should have received an email stating that your permit is active again. Please remember that you need to have a means to put the fire out and a screen to prevent embers from starting additional fires.

2. Residential pile-burn permits are now available through your local fire district's website. Burning is only allowed when fire danger is low or moderate. This permit typically involves a site inspection and a quick consultation. Pro tip: Wait for a little snow to accumulate before lighting the pile.

It's not over yet! Please manage your fall fuels, keep the fallen aspen leaves away from your house and out of your gutters, and w**d whack those grasses around your home.
