Stage 1 Fire Restrictions effective May 14, 2021
Date(s): May 11, 2021 - Oct 4, 2021
Starting May 14, 2021, at 8 a.m., the following are prohibited:
Igniting, building, maintaining, or using a fire, including charcoal and briquettes is prohibited outside a fire structure that is provided by the Forest Service within a designated area.
Smoking - unless in 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.
Discharging a firearm, air rifle, or gas gun.
An emergency situation exists due to the high levels of continuous fine fuel loading, fire danger indices, and extreme weather conditions. This has created an environment in which ignitions from human-caused activities can occur at a much higher rate than normal.
