What are Stage 1 fire restrictions?

Dig deeper:

Fireworks and target shooting are prohibited and smoking is not allowed outside designated areas.

Grills and campfires are prohibited, except within a developed campsite.

"Fire restrictions are implemented to help prevent human-caused fires and to limit the exposure of visitors during periods of potentially dangerous fire conditions," officials said. "Decisions about fire restrictions are a collaborative effort with area land management entities and are based on a combination of carefully measured factors. Criteria used to determine when to implement restrictions include current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels, enduring drought, and available firefighting resources."
