Starting next Monday…..due to the increased danger of wildfires, Cal-Fire will add some new restrictions on some Bureau Of Land Management properties. No tools powered by internal combustion engines (such as chainsaws or lawn mowers) off established roads or trails. No motorized vehicles off established roads or trails. Although the use of firearms for hunting is still allowed, target shooting is not allowed due to the concern about hot metal fragments and exploding targets. There is also no smoking, no fireworks, no explosives….and no campfires except in very specific “marked” locations, and with a Cal-Fire permit.
Cal-Fire says that the “unusually wet winter has produced an abundant grass crop, which has already cured or dried out. These heavy fuel loads have a high potential for creating extreme wildland fire behavior.”
