Fire Safety Notice

As we are all aware of the current extreme fire risk we need to be vigilant and exercise extreme caution with our actions.

• High risk activities including activities that can produce a spark and is done in a combustible area such as on or near the forest floor or grassy area are prohibited within village limits of New Denver and Silverton.


• High risk activities include but are not limited to; the use of spark producing tools (chainsaws, grinders, cutting torches)


• Be mindful of hot exhaust pipes and parking vehicles in long grass or easily combustible material. We are suggesting avoiding lawn mowing and the use of propane fire pits as these have the potential to ignite a fire as well.
