OWENS BANS OPEN BURNING AND FIREWORKS ON ALL STATE LANDS
Governor also asks cities, counties to consider need for similar bans

(DENVER) - Gov. Bill Owens announced today that he has banned open burning and fireworks on all state lands in Colorado. This includes all state parks and forests. The order is effective immediately.

"The hot, dry conditions increase the potential for a major fire every day. As the July 4th holiday approaches, more people will be streaming into our parks and forests making it imperative that we take all possible precautions," Owens said.

The ban on open burning on state land, contained in an Executive Order, includes campfires, warming fires, charcoal grill fires, fireworks and "any other activity that poses a significant risk of starting a fire." The ban does not include permanent fire structures that have been built to diminish the risk of wildfires.

At a news conference at the State Capitol, Owens asked cities and counties to consider similar bans as needed in their jurisdictions. In a letter sent to county commissioners and municipal officials, the Governor stated, "I am strongly encouraging local governments to closely examine the fire danger in your jurisdictions. Following that evaluation, I urge you to implement bans that are reasonably necessary in light of your local fire threat."

Owens pointed out that while he has the authority to issue a statewide fire ban, municipalities and counties are in the best position to implement and enforce such bans since local governments can impose civil and criminal penalties for violations.

The Governor also stressed that under a state law passed in 2002, local governments have broad authority to restrict or ban the use of fireworks. "Even seemingly tame fireworks, like sparklers and fountains, pose a significant threat. That is why I strongly encourage local governments to work together to impose consistent fireworks restrictions that are appropriate for the fire danger in each region," Owens said.

Owens also detailed the fire fighting resources currently available in Colorado. State equipment includes three Single Engine Air Tankers specifically under contract to Colorado and 17 specially-equipped fire trucks operated by state and local crews and pre- positioned where needed. Owens funded the operation of the state equipment under an Executive Order signed in April which made $2 million available for fire suppression activities.

Federal assets within Colorado include two heavy air tankers, five single engine air tankers, 11 helicopters, six aerial attack coordination aircraft and a smokejumper aircraft. Colorado has the ability to access additional federal equipment under the Cooperative Fire Management Agreement between Colorado and federal agencies.

The Governor also directed the state's National Guard to prepare its helicopters that are equipped to fight wildfires to be ready for immediate activation. The Guard currently has four helicopters available, including a Blackhawk and three Hueys.

Owens reminded Coloradans that at a special session of the legislature in 2002, state laws concerning wildfires were severely strengthened. The tougher laws include:


Increased criminal penalties of up to 12 years in jail and a $750,000 fine for setting a wildfire.
A tripling of civil damages that can be sought from someone who starts a wildfire.
Making it a crime to toss a burning object, such as a cigarette, from a motor vehicle.

"We all must be vigilant," Owens said. "If you're in one of our parched, dry areas, take a moment to think of the terrible consequences that can result from just one careless act. Obey the fire bans and obey the laws."
According to the Rocky Mountain Coordination Center, 576 wildfires have already burned over 80,000 acres in Colorado this year, over twice the acreage that was reported burned in all of 2005.

Answer 2

you would flow to reformatory for possesing marijuana in Colorado, as well. The state regulation merely potential you isn't arrested by utilizing the close by or the state police and also you isn't tried in an section or state courtroom. If federal brokers arrested you for some reason, you'd be tried in a federal courtroom (in spite of if the federal courtroom takes position to be positioned in Colorado) and serve some time in a federal reformatory particularly of a state reformatory. i'd probable say my ideas-set about marijuana regulations is total apathy, besides the undeniable fact that the reason in the back of the U. S. best courtroom ruling regarded noticeably skinny to me. The weird and wonderful element became seeing the conservative wing safeguard legalizing marijuana even as the liberal wing condemned the regulation - nicely, except for Scalia - possibly seeing Scalia, Stevens, and Ginsberg argue an same aspect became even extra outstanding. sanchito - the federal authorities has no company messing in state regulations until eventually they impact interstate commerce. To justify the federal regulations taking precedent over California's regulations required the federal authorities to describe how allowing marijuana grown in California and used for medicinal applications by utilizing California voters even as contained in the state of California affected interstate commerce. (this example and the ruling on an impending area case were particularly difficult rulings interior an same 12 months). The felony way for the federal authorities to regulate state regulations would were to tie federal resources to the states upon assembly some criteria, inclusive of no longer legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. That way that is nonetheless the state's decision to exercising their rights to their own regulations or to take the federal money. (maximum take the federal money, that's the way you wound up with a nationwide fifty 5 mph % decrease for decades). I do could confess the civil conflict effectively positioned an end to the states' rights to secede. the right to secede became noticeably a lot a given up until eventually the civil conflict and the opportunity of secession became used effectively by utilizing some states to get what they wanted.

Answer 4

No it's not, because of the fire danger. I live in Parker, and we are not even allowed to have firework stands. We do, of course, but the police don't notice. I think if they're little ones that stay on the ground then it's ok, but if you live in a really residential area then I would stay away from them and you won't get in trouble.

Answer 5

You should have check before you purchased them!!!!! I wish I had that kind of money to spend on such frivolous stuff. Fireworks are dangerous. If you purchased these dangerous things before you even knew if you were allowed to have them, you obviously lack common sense. More than likely, you will not use common sense when using fireworks! Hopefully, residents of Colorado will read your question and beware.

Answer 6

I live in Colorado Springs and we aren't allowed to hear because of the "Fire Ban" which sucks because I bought some out of state too.

Answer 10

Answer 11

YOu wasted your money. It is highly unlikely that it is safe - especially with a drought going on and the high incidence of wild fires. Fireworks can easily spark and out of control fire... so I think you are out of luck.
