No surprise here. Stage 2 fire restrictions are being put into place. Post them here when you hear or read about them.

Honestly, should have been Stage 2 for a while now. I was surprised that after only one weekend of rain some places completely got rid of fire restrictions.

Looks like there's a new fire somewhere up the Poudre, large smoke plume NW of Foco. Started sometime today, but not on inciweb yet.

There are a tremendous amount of politics that go into fire restrictions, and as you’d expect, that leads to stupid decisions based on things other than fire danger
