The details of the Stage 1 fire restrictions were not provided in the summary. However, such restrictions typically include prohibition of certain activities that could potentially spark a wildfire, like campfires outside of designated areas, smoking outdoors, and using certain types of equipment.
For further information regarding the fire restrictions, the BLM has provided contact details for the Southwest District Fire Information, Montrose Interagency Dispatch, Durango Interagency Dispatch, and Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center.
