The BLM says a statewide fire prevention order is now in effect. The order aims to reduce the risk of wildfires on public lands by prohibiting fireworks and certain types of ammunition and targets for shooting.
The order states “the following acts are prohibited on all public land areas, roads and trails located within and administered by the BLM Nevada State Office.”
Specific prohibitions include:
• Discharge, use, or allowing use of fireworks or pyrotechnic devices.
• Discharge, use or allowing use of incendiary, tracer or steel core ammunition or exploding targets, including binary explosive targets while recreational shooting.
For more information on restrictions, contact the Bureau of Land Management at 775-861-6500 or the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest at 775-331-6444.
