We love our pets and when it came to choosing photos for National All-American Pet Day it was hard to narrow it down to just 1 or 2 each, so we decided to make a collage of them all!
We hope you love it as much as we do! 😍

It's National Wildlands Firefighter Day and we want to take a moment to recognize the dedication and bravery of the wildland firefighters and support personnel across the United States, including federal, state, local, Tribal, military, rural, and volunteer workers! 🥰

Wildfires are ever-growing and we appreciate all you do to keep us and our lands safe! ❤️

With 10 or more active fires burning across Colorado right now, this ban is more important than ever! PLEASE keep our wildland firefighters in your thoughts, check on your families/friends across the state and do what you can to help keep your communities safe this 4th of July! ❤️

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.

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.
