Weather – December 1999 – Colorado Central Magazine
On account of the warm, dry weather, Smokey Bear hasn’t gone into hibernation yet.
Instead, fire restrictions were imposed Nov. 12 on eight Colorado counties by state and federal land managers, along with local sheriffs. In essence, all outdoor fires were banned, except those in developed campsites. Outdoor smoking was restricted to “an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.”
