Boulder County, Colo. - Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain may be closed Friday, Sept. 16, for a prescribed burn. The park will re-open Saturday, Sept. 17, at sunrise. If conditions are not favorable for operations the park will be open on Friday.

Fire personnel will also stop burning if weather conditions do not allow for a safe operation or if the situation becomes unsafe for any reason. As with all prescribed burns, conditions must meet certain criteria for the burn to take place. Weather considerations include wind, temperature, relative humidity, and air quality. To determine if conditions are suitable for ignitions, fire managers assess fuel moisture levels and continuously monitor current and projected weather forecasts.
