  • Fire Restriction change

    At last - I can now _officially_ tell you this

    Please note the bold text - this is different from our past restrictions (and takes us into the guidelines the other National Forests have used for years)

    Current Fire Use Restrictions and Guidelines:

    Wood and Charcoal fires are ONLY permitted in designated fire rings
    at developed sites. (developed sites are campgrounds, picnic areas
    and yellow post sites).


    Campfire Permits are issued for all fires (wood/charcoal/camp stove) in
    Yellow Post Sites - Campgrounds and Picnic Areas do not require a Camp Fire
    Permit.

    Campfire Permits are issued for all campstove use outside of designated
    sites.


    Recreational Shooting is limited to designated sites, and locations
    operated under special use permit only: except those engaged in legal
    hunting.

    An approved spark arrester is required for any internal combustion
    engine operated off state or county highways or designated forest
    roads. These include chainsaws, generators, motorcycles, and off-
    highway vehicles.

    A permit is required for welding or operating any torch device with
    an open flame or for use of any explosive device.

    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.

    Know Before you Go - contact the local Ranger Station prior to your
    visit to determine local conditions and use guidelines

      We were on patrol yesterday and the fire restrictions remain "High"
      http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardin...rictions.shtml

      Jeff's post covers "High" restrictions. Hopefully we will not get to "Extreme" before our campout. "Extreme" normally only occurs after very dry summers in heavy Santa Ana wind conditions.

      The one additional note to add to Jeff's original post is that for many years the SBNF allowed campfires in dispersed areas as long as the fire conditions were "Medium" or "Low". This will no longer be an option in the SBNF. Even if the conditions are "low" campfires will only be permitted in designated fire rings at developed sites. (developed sites are campgrounds, picnic areas and yellow post sites).

          I got a fire permit on friday at the adventure center and they said there was no end in sight for them this year..good news.
          yellowpost sites are getting coveted because you can have a fire there...speaking of...
          has anyone ever seen yellow post 34? I rode the dirt bike all over looking for it this weekend.
          It's not what you have. it's what you do with what you have.

              The restriction to yellow post/campgrounds only Jim? If so - it's a permanent regulation change.
