The purpose of these restrictions is to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires during periods of high fire danger and severe fire weather conditions. Criteria used to determine when to implement fire restrictions include current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels and available firefighting resources. Fire restrictions will remain in effect until the forest receives significant precipitation.

• Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire, including charcoal and
briquettes, outside a fire structure that is provided by the Forest Service within a Designated Area
• Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in
an area at least three (3) feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
What is permitted:

petroleum gas (LPG) fuels.
