Plumas National Forest (PNF) fire restrictions (public land), have been lifted forest-wide, effective noon today, October 20, 2017. Restrictions had been in place for the Feather River Ranger District (western PNF).
Forest visitors may enjoy campfires outside of excepted campgrounds and recreation sites, although California campfire permits are still required. The free permits may be obtained online at http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/ or from Forest Service offices during normal business hours (M-F; 8-4:30). Visitors are reminded to keep campfires small and to ensure the fire is completely dead out and cold to the touch before leaving camp.
As a reminder, woodcutters must assure chainsaws are equipped with spark arresters, have valid woodcutting permits and tags visible on their loads. Please call 1-800-847-7766 as required by firewood permits for burn-day information before heading out to cut wood.
