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.
