No Burn Advisory issued due to fire restrictions

Mesa County Public Health has issued a No Burn Advisory starting Friday, August 2, 2024 until further notice. Burning of any kind is not allowed during this advisory period. Agricultural burning is only allowed with an approved permit issued by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office.

This is in response to fire restrictions that have been issued for our area.  The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office has enacted Stage 1 Fire Restrictions for Mesa County due to dangerous wildfire conditions. 

Instead of burning, consider these alternatives:

• Compost leaves and grass clippings yourself. This can improve water retention in your yard or garden.
• Rent or borrow a wood chipper for your tree and shrub trimmings. Chipped branches can also be good mulch.

• Use the services at Mesa County Organic Materials Facility. Head to their website for hours and accepted materials.
