PRICE, Utah, August 05 2021—Due to recent monsoonal storms and heavy rains, the Manti-La Sal National Forest will remove all fire restrictions effective August 6, 2021 at 12:01 am. This change applies to all National Forest System lands located within the Sanpete, Ferron/Price, Moab and Monticello Ranger Districts of the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
We urge you to make “fire sense” decisions that will drive down the number of human-caused wildfires. As seasons change, so do our practices, to keep everyone safe and to protect the places we enjoy.
Please recreate and work responsibly. Know before you go – know how to prevent wildfires by properly using outdoor equipment, learn campfire safety, and check for fire restrictions and closures. Play it safe – from fireworks to camp stoves, understand the risk of your toys and tools and understand some may be restricted. Plan ahead - know the rules and regulations before you go. Play it safe - keep all ignition sources a safe distance away from vegetation. Help exercise “fire sense” in Utah and do your part to prevent unwanted human caused wildfires.
Remember that it is always illegal to leave a campfire unattended and that fireworks and exploding targets are never allowed on any federal land.
