Lincoln county is currently under a burn ban and we have a red flag warning today

Today, after a thorough review of current fire danger conditions and following the El Paso County Wildland Fire Restriction Evaluation Guidelines, Sheriff and Fire Warden Joseph Roybal has implemented Stage I Fire Restrictions for all unincorporated areas of El Paso County.

“The safety and well-being of our community is my priority,” said Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “As the Fire Warden, I am responsible for considering risk when dry weather conditions and fuel levels become dangerously high.

“As I implement Stage I Fire Restrictions, I ask for assistance from our community in spreading awareness and holding themselves accountable for their conduct. Don’t throw ci******es out the window, keep your property adequately mitigated from fire hazards, and follow restriction guidelines when enjoying Colorado’s abundant outdoor activities and recreation.

“El Paso County is a beautiful place to enjoy the colorful fall season, and by working together, we can prevent dangerous wildfires from devastating our community.”

These restrictions take effect today, October 4, 2024, at 2 p.m. and will remain in effect until they are modified (pursuant to El Paso County Ordinance #22-001).

Today is the day! Bring your family out to the BBQ! Bring chairs if you want to. We will have a splash pad and water games set up for the kids!

Reminder that this year our BBQ will be on the 6th at Miami-Yoder school instead of at the station. And there will be a small splash pad and firefighter water games! Come out for some family fun!
MYCO will also have a bin out for gently used clothing if you have any you would like to donate!

We will also have our pie contest going on July 6th. Bring your favorite pie to enter! No sign up needed

Tonight's district board meeting has been postponed to a date that has yet to be determined.

We're excited to go to the Miami Yoder trunk or treat this year with a great theme, candy and prizes!

Thank you to everyone that came out to the Fall festival yesterday, we hope everyone had a great time!

Got to love training day! A chance to train live fire with some Lincoln County agencies. Great opportunity for all involved.

Heads up this afternoon into night. Severe weather likely.
