The Forest Service announced that fire restrictions will be lifted for federally managed lands in the Plumas National Forest effective today. Restrictions on private land remain in place and are managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Forest visitors may enjoy campfires outside of designated campgrounds and recreation sites, although California campfire permits are still required. The free permits may be obtained online or from Forest Service offices during normal business hours. Visitors are reminded to keep campfires small and to ensure the fire is dead out and cold to the touch before leaving camp.
