Firefighters with Left Hand Fire Protection District are planning on burning slash piles on private property north of Gold Hill, CO in February, 2025. Slash pile burning is part of a multi-year effort to reduce dense fuel loads and reduce wildfire risk for the Town of Gold Hill and surrounding area.  Wildfire mitigation work is a partnership with Boulder Watershed Collective, private landowners, Gold Hill Town Meeting and the Gold Hill Fire Protection District.

Left hand Fire Protection District will choose a day when weather conditions allow them to safely meet their prescription and smoke permit requirements. Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. For more information, visit Wood smoke and your health.  If you would like to view air quality in our area visit Purple Air.
