Fire restrictions in the Tahoe National Forest will be lifted Oct. 11.

When restrictions are lifted, recreationists may have campfires outside of designated campgrounds with a valid California campfire permit, smoke outside of designated sites, and operate internal combustion engines off forest roads and trails where designated.

Campfire permits are free of charge from any Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, or CalFire office.

CalFire continues to have a statewide burn ban.
