Fire restrictions reduced

Recent and incoming winter weather has prompted officials with San Bernardino National Forest to reduce fire restrictions beginning Wed., Dec. 5, 2018. The new restrictions mean:

• Campfires will again be allowed at all U.S. Forest Service campgrounds on the forest. Most of them, however, are currently closed for the winter season, but fires at yellow-post sites (semi-developed campsites) are now allowed where a Forest Service-provided fire ring is present. Campfires outside official fire rings are not allowed in the San Bernardino National Forest under these restrictions.
• Target shooting will also be allowed at designated areas. Visitors participating in this activity must check the daily fire danger rating at +1 909 383-2997 and listen for the area they plan to shoot within. They must use the correct types of firearms, ammunition and targets and pick up all targets, casings and any other trash before leaving. Target shooting information can be found on the forest’s target shooting guide.

Visitors are always encouraged to "know before you go" and read the restrictions and ask forest staff for clarification. The new fire restrictions can be found in Forest Order No. 05-12-00-18-01.
