Stage 2 Fire Bans

• Building, maintaining, attending or using any fire

• No recreational fires, including recreational campfires, portable outdoor fireplaces, Tiki torches, chimineas’ and fire pits.

• Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area of at least six feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all combustible material.
