ALTURAS, Calif. – Modoc National Forest Fire and Fuels officials will lift fire-safety restrictions as of Friday, Sept. 29, 2017.

This means forest visitors may once again enjoy campfires outside of excepted campgrounds and recreation sites, although free California campfire permits are still required. Fire officials remind forest visitors to keep campfires small. Please be sure they are completely dead out and cold to the touch before leaving camp.
