Fire restrictions on public lands

As of June 29, all State, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and National Park Service lands and all unincorporated private lands in the following areas are under fire restrictions:
• State Lands and unincorporated private lands in Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan, Uintah, Duchesne, and Daggett counties;
• BLM lands located in eastern Utah in Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan, Uintah, Duchesne, and Daggett counties;
• National Park Service including Canyonlands, and Arches National Parks and Dinosaur, Natural Bridges, and Hovenweep National Monuments;
• Bureau of Indian Affairs including all Ute Indian Tribe lands located within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation
The restrictions will be in place until the fire hazard subsides. Maps and more specific information about the fire restrictions may be found on the interagency Utah Fire Info website.
All the orders have in common a prohibition of the following acts:
1. No campfires, except in permanently constructed cement or metal fire pits provided in developed campgrounds and picnic areas.
2. No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area that is paved, barren, or cleared to mineral soil.
In addition, metal cutting, welding and grinding activities in areas of dry vegetation as well as discharging, or using any kind of fireworks, firing steel tipped/core ammunition, tracer ammunition or other pyrotechnic devices including exploding targets are prohibited on BLM and State/Private Unincorporated lands.
These restrictions do not apply to the Manti-La Sal and Ashley National Forests or lands within incorporated towns and cities; however, each municipality may have similar or more restrictive ordinances. Questions about specific areas should be directed to local authorities.
