Colorado now has temporary laws in place stating that drivers may only smoke with all windows up, and nothing is disposed of out the window. Also, no smoking outside except in enclosed areas. Campgrounds are locked down to small gas cooking now.

I definitly understand the reasoning behind it, and think anyone caught breaking this should be taken in, and held responsible for their actions. "We'll let you off easy and only make you pay 1% of the fire damage and control fees." Aka, still probably $10,000 minimum.

Not sure where this is specificially (state wide or in a few counties), just herd it from someone watching the news. The fires we have had already have been way higher then the normal for this time of year, and the drought is just getting worse. For once, we might have more fires to pay attention to in this state instead of lending help in surrounding states.
