    Fire Danger and Restrictions


    The fire danger is low across the forest. Campfires are allowed with a valid permit. Please follow these campfire guidelines in those places where campfires are allowed:


    • Clear all flammable material away from the fire for a minimum of five feet in all directions
    • Make a fire only if you have a shovel and sufficient water to put it out.
    • Have a responsible person in attendance at all times.
    • Never leave your campfire unattended.
    • Never build a campfire on a windy day.
    • To make sure your campfire is out, drown with water and stir with dirt, making sure all burned materials are extinguished. Feel with your hand to make sure it’s out cold.
    • Ensure your fire is DEAD OUT before leaving the area.
