Fourth of July Fire Safety Alert | Denver News

Colorado’s wildfire crisis is escalating as the Fourth of July looms — officials are locking down fire zones across Jefferson, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties with strict Stage Two restrictions: no campfires, charcoal grills, or fireworks — even sparklers. With massive blazes like the Aspen Acres Fire already burning over 50,000 acres and crews stretched thin, experts warn that even a tiny spark can ignite disaster in dry conditions. A recent shed fire in Kittredge nearly spiraled out of control, underscoring how fast small fires can grow. Firefighters are urging everyone — even in unrestricted areas — to treat every heat source with extreme caution. This holiday weekend must be celebrated safely, patriotically, and responsibly to avoid adding to the state’s already critical fire emergency.
