Salt Lake City, Utah — As the temperatures remain high and no rain in sight, new fire restrictions are going into effect Friday.
According to U.S. Forest Service, the newest restrictions apply to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
Beginning Friday, campfires and charcoal briquettes will only be allowed in designated areas.
Smoking will be limited to within enclosed vehicles, buildings, recreation sites, or general areas that have at least three feet of no flammable material.
According to the Forest Service, new, more strict restrictions could go into effect if conditions worsen.
Beginning Friday, Utah’s office of the Bureau of Land Management will have similar restrictions going into place.
Those restrictions include limiting campfires, banning smoking outside of a vehicle, fireworks, and the use of explosives.
The Department of Natural Resources and Utah’s Division of Wildlife Management also have their own restrictions on fires, target shooting, and fireworks.
