fire restrictions

Prohibited open flames

Fire restrictions are official limitations on outdoor burning, campfires, or fireworks during periods of high wildfire risk.

They typically prohibit open flames in forests, parks, or wilderness areas: Fire restrictions are in effect throughout the national forest.

Restrictions vary by severity—some ban only campfires while others prohibit smoking outdoors or using certain equipment.
