The Colorado Springs Fire Department enacted a burn restriction order for the city that took effect on April 15. Drought, dry fuel moisture levels and an increase in the occurrence of grass fires in undeveloped areas of the city were reasons for the restrictions. Recreational fires are banned, as is operating small-engine equipment without a properly installed, maintained and functioning spark arrestor. Outdoor smoking is prohibited in all city-owned parks and open spaces.
