Tahoe National Forest set fire restrictions

Fire restrictions are now in effect within the Tahoe National Forest.

This means:

• No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires are allowed outside of designated areas even with a valid California campfire permit, except within the oven at Wheeler Sheep Camp. Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed with a valid California campfire permit.
• No possessing or using any kind of fireworks or other pyrotechnic device, including explosives.
• No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, building, or designated recreation site.
• Internal combustion engines are restricted to National Forest system roads, routes, trails, and areas as identified on the Tahoe National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map (including the Prosser Pits Developed Off-Highway Vehicle Area). Motorized cross-country travel between roads, routes, trails, and areas is prohibited.
