Douglas County is under Stage 2 fire restrictions — meaning most outdoor flames are off-limits for now.
Why it matters: The bans cover unincorporated Douglas County — which includes Castle Pines and Larkspur — plus Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker.
🚫 What's off limits:
Residents can't do open burning. That means campfires, setting off model rockets, using chimineas, portable fireplaces or wood-burning patio fire pits.
✅ What's allowed: Gas- or liquid-fueled grills, stoves and fire pits.
And make sure an adult's supervising charcoal grills, indoor fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.
Threat level: Get caught violating the ban and fines can hit $1,000, plus possible jail time.
