Controlled burns help prevent wildfires. Regulations make them nearly impossible
Summary: Controlled burns are an effective way to prevent wildfires, but regulations, erratic weather patterns, and public resistance have made it nearly impossible to conduct them. The restrictions and planning process often delay or indefinitely postpone controlled burns, and firefighters must comply with rules that can differ in each of Colorado's 64 counties. Large burns on federal, state, or county land require permits from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to ensure they don't violate federal clean-air regulations. Land managers say figuring out how to overcome these barriers is crucial to addressing the fire risk.
