Sierra National Forest Fire Danger & Restrictions
Fire danger is high across the Sierra National Forest with no active fires or weather watches currently in effect. Campfires are allowed in designated campgrounds and picnic areas, but backcountry campfire rules vary by elevation and specific wilderness areas. Portable stoves with a shut-off valve are permitted, but always check current restrictions for your specific location before heading out. Welding and grinding with open flames are prohibited.
