BOULDER, Colo. March 26, 2025 - Today, the City of Boulder will continue the prescribed agricultural ditch burn (weather and resource permitting) in east Boulder south of Arapahoe Rd in the 8000 block. Community members may notice smoke coming from the area but should not call 911 on this burn as it is not an emergency.

When the city implements a prescribed burn, firefighters trained in preparing, lighting, and supervising prescribed fires manage a team of certified firefighting staff to oversee the burn. These burns are done with the assistance of City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, local fire protection districts, and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.

The city encourages all community members to clean up debris such as pine needles, branches, and leaves from around their property to create better defensible space against wildfires.
