Campfire Permits
To
use a stove, lantern, or campfire outside a developed campground or
recreation area, you must have a campfire permit. The permit is your
agreement to follow the regulations in effect at any time.
Your
California campfire permit is valid from the date issued until the end
of the calendar year on the Modoc National Forest. A permit is available
free-of-charge from any Forest Service, California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection, or Bureau of Land Management Office.
A California campfire permit is required for a fire outside a developed campground or recreation area.
Remember to follow the regulations found on your campfire permit. Failure to do so could result in suppression costs being charged to you should your campfire escape.
- Clear flammable material away from the fire to a minimum of 5 feet in all directions.
- Have a shovel and water next to your fire.
- Have a responsible person in attendance at all times.·
- Put out your campfire before you leave: DROWN it with water, STIR it and FEEL it to make sure it is “DEAD OUT”
South Warner Wilderness Area
