Submitted by paula on Thu, 10/08/2020 - 2:16pm
The US Forest Service has extended its emergency fire restrictions across all National Forest lands in California. This involves all USFS land in the Lake Tahoe Basin on both sides of the state line.
Smoking and all recreational fires, including campfires, bonfires, warming fires, wood fires, charcoal fires, or any other kind of outdoor fires, involving solid fuels are prohibited.
With the ongoing threat of wildfire and a very dry season, the danger of fire remains too high to allow recreational fires.
