QUINCY, CA  July 18, 2017 - Fire restrictions are effective July 20 within the Plumas National Forest (public land) according to Daniel Lovato, Forest Supervisor.

However, lanterns and portable stoves (includes propane campfire units) using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed as long as the forest visitor has a valid California Campfire Permit available from (http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/ ) or from Forest Service offices during normal business hours (M-F; 8-4:30). 
  1. No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, building, Designated Recreation Site (Attachment A), or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
  2. No welding or operating acetylene or other torch with an open flame.
Some people may be exempt from these restrictions if they have been specifically allowed by the Forest Service via a permit or approved plan of operations or if they are a member of any Federal, State, local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force in the performance of official duty.
Persons with a Special Use Permit from the Forest Service for a recreation residence on the PNF are exempt from #1 & 2 above while they are at their recreation residence.
