The Fire Hazard Rating for the area is EXTREME.  As a result, the Fire Restriction has been upgraded to a Fire Ban, effective 11:00 a.m. Monday, May 5th, 2025 until further notice.  

This Fire Ban affects all burning, including cooking/warming fires (backyard firepits), charcoal briquettes, deep fryers (e.g. Turkey fryers), tiki torches, fireworks and wood fires in outdoor recreation facilities such as group campsites, gazebos, teepees and wood burning stoves inside tent-like structures.
