Due to the recent moderation of local wildland fire conditions, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is rescinding the fire restrictions enacted at the park on June 19, 2014. Recent rains and the transition to cooler and less volatile fall wildland fire conditions have prompted park Fire Management staff to remove the precautionary measures. Despite the removal of these restrictions, visitors are encouraged to continue to use caution and know park fire use rules and regulations. 

A copy of the original fire restriction information is available from the Whiskeytown News Release Archive at:https://www.nps.gov/whis/parknews/fire-use-restrictions-2014.htm

Fire use and other rules and regulations can be found in the park newspaper, or in more detail on the park website:https://www.nps.gov/whis/parkmgmt/lawsandpolicies.htm
