The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Carson City District Office, the Carson & Bridgeport Ranger Districts of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, and the Nevada Division of Forestry’s Sierra Forest Fire Protection District announced Wednesday the lifting of fire restrictions that have been in place since July 24. Restrictions expire today.

Decreasing daily sunlight, increasing fuel moisture levels and cooler evening temperatures are allowing the agencies to lift fire restrictions.

Campfires still require a campfire permit on the Carson & Bridgeport Ranger Districts of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.

Fire officials warned that recreationists need to be fire safe with all their outdoor activities, including insuring that their campfires are dead out.

Leaving campfires unattended is a class B misdemeanor.
