Inyo & BLM Fire Restrictions Starting 6/6

Post by maverick »


Inyo NF/BLM:

Fire restrictions will be taking effect this coming Monday, June 6.

Both the Inyo National Forest and Bureau of Land Management - California - Bishop Field Office will be entering fire restrictions at the same time:

• No Campfires, briquette/charcoal barbeques, or stove fires are allowed outside of agency-provided fire rings or barbeques at designated developed recreation sites. Dispersed campfires such as rock rings, will no longer be allowed.
• No Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or in an area at least three feet in diameter barren of all flammable materials.
• No welding or operating acetylene or other torch with open flame.
• No motorized vehicles or tools powered by internal combustion engines off designated roads or trails (such as chainsaws or lawn mowers).

Additionally on BLM Lands, no target shooting, except with a State of California hunting license and in accordance with California hunting regulations.

As always, possessing, discharging or using fireworks or pyrotechnic devices are prohibited across Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands.
Additionally, a valid California Campfire Permits is required whenever you operate a stove or fire on these public lands: https://www.readyforwildfire.org/permit ... re-permit/

There are exemptions to these fire restrictions.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
