FIRES ARE NOT PERMITTED AT THIS TIME

GRILLS MAY BE USED AT THIS TIME - BUT PLEASE USE CAUTION DUE TO HIGH WINDS

(We always reserve the right to prohibit fires even when the danger may be deemed moderate, especially if winds are high.  Please use good judgement when starting a campfire in the fire pit during times when fires are permitted.  No unattended fires! When you are done enjoying your campfire - please use multiple buckets of water to make sure your fire is completely out.  Drown it out!! If we see mis-use of fire pits, we will prohibit your use of the fire pit during the remainder of your stay.)  

VERY HIGH - (ORANGE) - HIGH (YELLOW)

            *  HIGH (Yellow):Fires start easily, spread readily, and can be difficult to control, especially in heavy fuels.

Weather and fuel conditions mean that wildfires are likely. Wildfires in areas with heavy, continuous fuel, such as mature grassland, fields, and forest litter, will be hard to control if there are high winds. Directly attacking the fire may be difficult. Careful mop up is essential.

           *  VERY HIGH (Orange) Fires start easily from all causes and, immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires
burning in light fuels may quickly develop high intensity characteristics such as long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds when they burn into heavier
fuels.

PLEASE CHECK THIS PAGE BEFORE STARTING ANY FIRE.  CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY DUE TO CHANGING FIRE/WEATHER CONDITIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN PREVENTING AN OUT OF CONTROL FIRE.
