Downwind smoke from Boggy Draw prescribed fire

 The large plume of smoke from the Boggy Draw prescribed fire, located just northeast of Dolores, is moving from southwest to northeast.  This is creating some downwind smoke impacts, including in the town of Rico on Highway 145 in Dolores County.  If you reside in Rico, remaining indoors with the windows closed is recommended through tomorrow morning.  We may also see some of this smoke reach other areas further  to the northeast, including Silverton, Ophir, Ames and perhaps even Telluride. 

Please remember that as we move through the overnight hours and into Monday morning, we are expecting some smoke to push down towards the community of Dolores. Moderate to heavy smoke may be present when the sun rises Monday morning, so please take steps to protect your health.
