As wildfires burn across the state, Colorado Search and Rescue state coordinator Trevin Montano thinks there are a few things that anyone recreating in the mountains this summer should know. Meanwhile, the Gold Mountain Fire that has burned about 38,000 acres near Ouray has also led to public land closures due to firefighting. A fresh N95 mask can be a useful item to add to your pack, in case of smoke, Montano said. The Willow Fire burning near Leadville has prompted closures of the nearby national forest lands, including sections of the Colorado Trail. Any time that there is a wildfire burning nearby, it is also illegal and dangerous to fly a drone nearby, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
