(2/2) Here are a few ways you can support electric reliability. 1. Turn your thermostat up a few degrees to avoid running your air conditioner. 2. Open your windows to keep your house cool. 3. Avoid using appliances like washers, dryers and dishwashers during the heat of the day.

We're asking customers to voluntarily conserve electricity as high regional demand is placing increased strain on the electric grid. Conservation efforts during this period can help reduce peak demand and support continued reliable electric service. (1/2)

Current conditions are dangerous. Multiple wildfires have started across Colorado in the last 24 hours, fuels remain critically dry, temperatures are climbing, and firefighting resources across the state are already being stretched. 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿. The burn ban prohibits: 🔥 Wood, pellet, and charcoal fires (including grills, smokers, and fire pits) 🔥 Campfires and recreational fires 🔥 Outdoor smoking in City parks and open spaces 🔥 Other activities capable of producing sparks as outlined in the burn ban order Fireworks have always been illegal in Colorado Springs. This burn ban does not change that. If you're considering using fireworks this week, don't. Our firefighters need to be available for true emergencies—not preventable fires. We will continue to monitor weather and fire conditions throughout the week. If conditions continue to worsen, additional impacts, including to planned fireworks displays, may become necessary. @CityofCOS

🚩 RED FLAG WARNING 🚩 June 29, 9 am to 10 pm Today is not the day to push your luck. Colorado has already seen multiple new wildfires in the last 24 hours, and several existing fires have grown rapidly. Hot temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds mean any spark can become a fast-moving wildfire. Today we need your help. 🔥 Don't use anything that creates sparks. 🚫 No recreational fires. 🚬 Dispose of smoking materials properly. 🚗 Don't park on dry grass. 🔧 Avoid activities that could throw sparks. 📞 If you see smoke or fire, report it immediately. Normally we'd throw in a clever joke here... but today isn't really a joke. One careless decision can put lives, homes, firefighters, and entire communities at risk. Let's not be the reason the next wildfire starts.
