Fire restrictions lifted across most of Nevada’s public lands
Wildland fire officials have lifted fire restrictions across much of Nevada’s public lands. The Bureau of Land Management, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and Nevada Division of Forestry have rescinded the current 2020 Nevada-wide fire restrictions as of Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020.
Current fire restrictions and regular updates are available online at www.nevadafireinfo.org.
Given the recent precipitation, higher humidity, and cooler temperatures across Nevada, the risk of wildfire has started to gradually decline. However, wildfires can still occur during any time of year, and as always, the public should continue to recreate safely and responsibly.
The fire restrictions issued on November 10, 2020, supersede the previous statewide interagency fire restrictions that were enacted on October 16, 2020, and will be jointly mandated and enforced by each agency in coordination with city and county governments and wildfire agencies.
Affected areas include the following:
All areas, roads, trails and lands administered by:
— State of Nevada (All Nevada State Parks and Recreation Areas)
— Bureau of Land Management
— Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest
For more information or clarification on the restrictions, please contact the Nevada Division of Forestry at 775-684-2709; BLM State Headquarters at 775-861-6500; and Humboldt- Toiyabe National Forest at 775-771-4777.
Remember, you are the first line of defense in preventing wildfires. It is important to stay vigilant, even with the cooler temperatures. Nevada’s public land management agencies and firefighters thank you for continuing to use extra precaution to help protect public safety and the wildlands that we all love.
