FIRE RESTRICTIONS:
The San Bernardino National Forest has implemented increased fire restrictions. Campfires are restricted to those developed areas listed in the Forest Order.
KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FLY: Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. A FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect for the area. Any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges. For more information on drones, visit the FAA’s website at www.KnowBeforeYouFly.org. “If you fly, we can’t!”
