Stage 1 Fire Restrictions for the Carson and Bridgeport Ranger Districts will begin on Monday, June 29, 2026. These restrictions will remain in effect until rescinded.
“Temperatures have increased and brush and grass are drying out,” said Issac Walden, district fire management officer for the Bridgeport Ranger District. “The public can help reduce wildfire risk by remaining vigilant, especially on red flag days.”
Stage 1 fire restrictions prohibit:
● Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire, except by permit or when in a developed fee campground or picnic area. Portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed.
● Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or when stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
● Operating or parking vehicles or other motorized equipment over or on top of dried/cured vegetation.
● Welding, metal grinding, or operating an acetylene or other torch with an open flame (except by permit).
