Steve Lipsher, Summit Fire and EMS Community Resource Officer said that's especially true with burning things on our Colorado landscape. Whether it's excess wood at the Summit County Landfill, pile burns with the U.S. Forest Service or even private property burns, the key is getting the right conditions for the weather. "The basics are that we need snow on the ground, we don't want fire spreading further than where we intended it to be," Lipsher said. "Beyond that, it can't be howling winds, but some winds are really good to disperse smoke and everything."
