Burn Restrictions by area
Click the images below to view them larger.
Low (Green)
Fires are possible but not easily started. Vegetation doesn’t ignite easily. Fires may burn slowly or smolder in grass. Caution, these types of fires may go unnoticed and turn into something bigger as fire danger increases. Few fire restrictions may be in place.
Moderate (Blue)
Fires may start and can spread. Fires can start from sparks or embers, but they often need the right combination of wind and dry fuels to increase the rate of fire spread. Fires are not likely to become large and can be controlled relatively easily. Fire restrictions start to increase, such as equipment use during the heat of the day.
High (Yellow)
Fires start easily and can spread at a fast rate. Grasses, leaves, and twigs ignite easily, and fire can spread rapidly into heavier fuels, such as branches and logs. Fire potential increases and can be difficult to control. Fire restrictions continue to tighten, such as limiting off-road driving or equipment use to cooler morning hours.
Extreme (red)
Fires start very easily and intensify quickly. Fire restrictions are elevated to prohibit certain activities, such as campfires, off-road driving, and equipment use.
Staying aware of fire danger levels helps protect lives, property, and natural areas. Always follow local fire restrictions and take precautions when fire danger is elevated.
