If you live in Western Boulder County, and want to be a good neighbor, find another pasttime other than having a fire on your own land, even if you have it in a 100% approved metal fire ring. If you do have this approved fire ring, you have to have it at least 20' away from any combustible materials. The only place I can think of in the BarK that fits these conditions is NOWHERE.
For those of us that were evacuated in 2020 for 5 days during the Calwood fire, initiating the action of starting a bonfire in our yards is so far from being a logical, responsible, or safe activity. It is really hard to fathom someone who cares about their own house and own neighborhood, region, County, or state would think that starting any sort of fire on your property is remotely a good idea, unless it is February with 4' of snow on the ground, and you have contacted the local fire jurisdiction to get a burn permit, and have the fire department present at the time of the burn.
Please, if you have wood to burn on your property, reach out to your neighbors to see if they would like some firewood for the winter. I am sure that many folks residing in the BarK and Jamestown and surrounding areas would love the opportunity for some free wood to cut and split for burning in our 100% approved interior wood stoves during the long cold winter.
Sincerely, a concerned neighbor and member of the BarK community.
