Stage 2 Fire Restrictions

County-level fire restrictions (Stage 1 or Stage 2) are enacted by the Board of County Commissioners, not the fire districts directly, and are enforced by the Summit County Sheriff's Office as civil infractions or misdemeanors. The fire departments provide advice and issue permits for burning when allowed, but do not conduct primary enforcement.

Summit County Stage 2 fire restrictions: gas devices allowed; no open fires, fireworks, smoking, off-road vehicle parking in vegetation.
