Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest extends fire restrictions
Richmond, Utah – Starting Friday another part of Utah is enacting fire restrictions as temperatures and fire danger remain high.
Fire restrictions will go into effect on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, these restrictions are intended to protect public health and safety and to reduce the potential for human-caused fires.
Under these Stage 1 fire restrictions, fires, campfires, and charcoal briquettes are allowed only in designated areas. Smoking is limited to within enclosed vehicles, buildings, developed recreation sites, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of any flammable material.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, where conditions warrant, additional restrictions may be enacted.
Fire restrictions like these will remain in effect until rain improves conditions.
