(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.

The burn ban prohibits:
๐ฅ Wood, pellet, and charcoal fires (including grills, smokers, and fire pits)
๐ฅ Campfires and recreational fires
๐ฅ Outdoor smoking in City parks and open spaces
๐ฅ 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 emergenciesโnot 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.

๐ฉ RED FLAG WARNING ๐ฉ
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.
๐ฅ Don't use anything that creates sparks.
๐ซ No recreational fires.
๐ฌ Dispose of smoking materials properly.
๐ Don't park on dry grass.
๐ง Avoid activities that could throw sparks.
๐ 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.
Our crews are responding to a water main break that has caused a sinkhole on Montebello Dr. W. between Descanso Cir. E. and Fiesta Ln. Lanes are closed in both directions between Fiesta Ln. and Descanso Cir. W. Please drive safely in the area and follow crew directions.
