JUST ANNOUNCED
The Plumas National Forest is entering Stage I Fire Restrictions on Thursday, July 10, based on increased fire danger rating and fire behavior indices, combined with drying fuels.
Despite average snowpack, early season hot temperatures melted snowpack faster than expected. Periods of hotter than average temperatures are forecasted to continue in the area, further drying fuels and increasing fire danger.
In Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, campfires are only allowed in specific designated recreation sites, in established campfire rings. Sites are listed in Exhibit A of the closure order.
Smoking is only allowed within an enclosed vehicle or building, in one of the designated recreation sites listed in Exhibit A, or an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is completely clear of all flammable material.
Additionally, internal combustion engines, such as vehicles and generators, may only be used on designated roads and trails.
