During their regular meeting on Tuesday, the Grand County Colorado Board of County Commissioners approved allowing Grand County’s Stage One fire restrictions to expire at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2026, as provided in Resolution No. 2026-09-5.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with local fire districts and federal partners, regularly monitors fire conditions and evaluates the need for restrictions using a scientific fire restriction matrix applied throughout northwest Colorado. After reviewing the latest data, Sheriff Brett Schroetlin recommended allowing the restrictions to expire, and the Commissioners approved that recommendation.

The expiration of county fire restrictions does not eliminate the need for caution. Residents and visitors are encouraged to practice fire safety and check with the agency responsible for the land they plan to visit, as restrictions on federal or other managed lands may differ.
