BLM announces fire restrictions for NE California, NW Nevada public lands
SUSANVILLE, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management will implement restrictions on outdoor use of fire on public lands managed by the Eagle Lake and Applegate field offices in Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Sierra, Shasta and Siskiyou counties in California, and in Washoe County, Nevada. The restrictions go into effect Thursday, July 1, and will remain in place until further notice. These seasonal restrictions are in addition to the BLM’s year-round California fire prevention order.
“These seasonal restrictions are important for protecting public lands and nearby communities from wildfire,” said BLM Northern California District Manager Dereck Wilson. “Our prolonged drought has led to dry vegetation and these conditions, combined with high temperatures and windy afternoons, are rapidly increasing fire danger. We need to minimize the potential for fire starts.”
