Wildfire season has kick-started in the southwest and smoke has drifted into Colorado.
The Mescal and Telegraph fires west of Phoenix, Arizona sparked in the first week of June and have both burned over 70,000 acres. Several more, smaller fires have recently been burning in southwest New Mexico and central Utah.
The smoke from these fires has left a light haze across Colorado since Tuesday and is most apparent in the west and southern areas of the state and within mountain valleys.
Residents of Teller county received cell phone alerts about wildfire smoke in the area on Tuesday, June 8th, and were assured it was NOT from a local fire. The Teller County Sheriff s office also alerted this on Twitter.
Top law enforcement officers in El Paso County and the Teller County Sheriff are voicing concerns about a Colorado Senate bill that aims to limit misdemeanor arrests and eliminate cash bail for people charged with certain felony crimes.

TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) In a letter posted on the Teller County Sheriff s Office Facebook page, the Teller County Board of Commissioners said they will not be actively enforcing the mask mandate.
On May 2, Governor Jared Polis extended the statewide mask mandate.
According to the governor s office, the indoor mask order remains in effect for all schools statewide. This also includes extracurricular activities, childcare centers, indoor children s campuses, public-facing government facilities, and others.
However, the order also allows people to remove their masks in public indoor spaces with more than ten people if at least 80% have proof of vaccination.
