Oct. 5, 2011 Hall Ranch Prescribed Burn
There is currently no emergency.

Boulder County will conduct a prescribed burn today at the Hall Ranch Open Space from approximately 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Hall Ranch is located north of Highway 7, west of Lyons, south of Highway 36 and west to Button Rock Preserve. Today’s burn will include approximately 70 acres in the area west of the prairie dog town and east of the Nelson Loop trail.
Hall Ranch Open Space will be closed in its entirety for the burn operation.
During a prescribed burn, smoke will be visible and will drift according to wind currents and atmospheric conditions.
Smoke may continue to be visible after the fire is out and may settle in some areas at night when cooler air traps smoke closer to the ground.
If the smoke is bothersome, close windows and stay indoors.
