We want everyone to have a fun and safe adventure along the Arkansas River, so here’s a quick reminder about fire safety in Chaffee County. If you're camping with a campfire, be sure to fully extinguish it before turning in for the night. The ashes should be cool to the touch, which means the fire is completely out. This simple but crucial step helps prevent wildfires and keeps our beautiful area safe for everyone to enjoy!
