Monthly and seasonal weather outlooks predict above normal Large Fire Potential from July to September 2016 with these predictions we want our visitors to be able to continue to enjoy their public lands but our main priority is their safety making fire restrictions a critical role in providing that safety when the fire danger levels are high said Forest Supervisor Jody Noiron. Currently live fuel moistures in chamise are approximately six weeks ahead of schedule showing drying patterns of we would usually see in late July into August, it is also important to know that our 100-hour and 1000-hour fuels are well below average moisture making them more susceptible to burn explains Daniel O Connor the San Bernardino National Forest fuels prevention officer. Fire restrictions and guidelines effective Thursday June 30, 2016 on the San Bernardino National Forest are as follows: Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire except within the areas listed in Exhibits A, B, and C (see attached). Individuals with a valid California Camp fire Permit may use a propane or gas cooking stove. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, or in the areas listed in Exhibits A, B and C (see attached). Fireworks are always prohibited on the San Bernardino National Forest.
An approved spark arrester is required for any internal combustion engine operated on designated forest routes. These include chainsaws, generators, motorcycles, and offhighway vehicles. Recreational shooting is limited to Public Shooting Ranges operated under special use permit only, except those engaged in legal hunting. The community and all forest users can help in the prevention of fires by being vigilant in reporting illegal and inappropriate behavior within our community throughout the year. said Fire Management Officer Jaime Gamboa. The US Forest Service will be aggressively citing those who do not comply with the posted restrictions. Violation of these prohibitions is subject to punishment by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months or both, as Class B misdemeanors under federal law.
