The Tahoe National Forest has enacted stage one fire restrictions through November 30.
Under the restrictions, campfires are permitted in provided fire rings or charcoal grills within Tahoe National Forest’s developed campgrounds and day-use sites, but not outside of those areas.
Smoking or operating internal combustion engines off roads or trails is also restricted except in limited instances.
People with a valid campfire permit are still welcome to use portable cooking stoves, propane campfires, or lanterns in an area at least three feet from any flammable materials.
Portable devices can only burn gas, kerosene, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel and have a shut-off valve.
Campfire permits are available online at permit.preventwildfiresca.org.
