With recent rain and current weather forecasts, forest officials on the San Bernardino National Forest reduced fire restrictions. Under the reduced fire restrictions, visitors may have wood and charcoal fires in agency-provided campfire rings at campgrounds, picnic areas and yellow post sites. Recreational target shooting is permitted within designated sites and locations operated under permit. “With the recent storms across the mountains, the fire danger has lowered. However, I want to remind folks to continue to be fire safe and vigilant year-round,” said Fire Chief Jaime Gamboa. Current fire restriction and guidelines in effect on the San Bernardino National Forest are as follows: · Wood and charcoal campfires are allowed only in developed campgrounds, picnic areas and Yellow Post campsites within agency-provided fire rings or designated stoves. · California Campfire permits are required for propane and gas stoves and lanterns used outside of developed recreation sites. · Recreational shooting is limited to designated sites and public shooting ranges operated under special use permit only, except those engaged in legal hunting. · An approved spark arrester is required for any internal combustion engine operated on designated forest routes. These include chainsaws, generators, motorcycles, and off-highway vehicles. · Fireworks are always prohibited on the San Bernardino National Forest. Tracer, armor piercing, steel core, and Teflon ammunitions are also prohibited, as is discharging a firearm at any exploding target. Forest visitors are encouraged to “Know Before You Go” and call ahead to the local Ranger Station to check on location conditions and restrictions. · Mill Creek Ranger Station 909-382-2882 · Idyllwild Ranger Station 909-382-2922 · Big Bear Discovery Center 909-382-2790 · Lytle Creek Ranger Station 909-382-2851 · Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument 760-862-9984
