Visitors should continue to take the following precautions:
- Before going hiking or camping, check for fire restrictions and closures in the area.
- If you are using a portable stove, clear the area of grasses and other fine fuels and be careful to prevent the stove from tipping over.
- Consider alternatives to campfires even if they are allowed. During times of high fire danger, unattended campfires are likely to escape.
- If you are a smoker, consider smoking only on paved surfaces or in an enclosed vehicle; and never toss cigarette butts on the ground. Use an ashtray or pack cigarette butts out in your pocket.
- If you are driving on unpaved roads, be careful of parking or driving your vehicle in tall, dry vegetation. Hot vehicle parts may start a fire.
- If you see smoke or fire, note the location and report it by calling 9-1-1. Do NOT attempt to put out a fire by yourself.
