In an effort to prevent hu- man-caused wildland fires and to promote fire aware- ness, US Forest Service of- ficials have instituted some public use fire restrictions across all areas of the Siu- slaw National Forest. Prohibitions include: • Campfires not con- tained within a pre-installed fire enclosure at an official developed campsite. This excludes campfires within designated sand camping areas on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and dispersed camping within the Sand Lake Recre- ation Area. • Welding or operating a torch with an open flame. • Operating generators in areas of vegetation. • Using a vehicle off US Forest Service roads, except when parking in an area devoid of vegetation for 10 feet. This excludes recre- ation on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and the Sand Lake Recre- ation Area. • Smoking outdoors in close proximity to flamma- ble materials or vegetation. Visitors may use porta- ble cooking stoves and fuel lanterns with off switches when recreating outside of developed camping areas. Fires in permitted areas should always be attended.
