Ouray County, Colorado

Ouray County Fire Restriction Stage

Published restriction stage

Ouray County reports Stage 1 fire restrictions effective September 3, 2026. The notice took effect at 12:01 AM, replacing Stage 2, and covers only unincorporated Ouray County. The City of Ouray and Town of Ridgway are excluded. Both county sources were rechecked September 12; each lookup fetches them again.

Jurisdiction and permission boundaries

This reports the county's published notice, not a parcel-jurisdiction determination or permission for any fire. Municipal, federal and neighboring-land restrictions remain separate. Permanent fire, fireworks, air-quality and permit rules still apply. No individual approval is inferred.
