With recreation areas reopening, the forest asks visitors to slow down and obey posted speed limits, as firefighters continue to work in many areas across the forest. Additionally, visitors are reminded that the forest is in Very High Fire Danger and Public Use Restrictions are set at Level 3, which means that campfires are restricted to commercial campfires solely pressurized by liquid fuel or propane, within Forest Service developed recreation sites. https://bit.ly/3xIZZdK
