Burn ban includes fireworks

Colorado and Fayette counties has continued its burn ban as the recent rains were not enough to set aside the drought and the dry grasses.

Outdoor burning has been banned unless it falls under the legal exceptions.

Legal exceptions include household trash burning with an enclosed covered receptacle with mesh material with no more than a one-fourth-inch opening and supervision in a safe area clear of debris. Barbecues are okay using above- ground grills with enclosed fireboxes and attended at all times.
