TULELAKE, California — Beginning Monday, July 25, fire restrictions will be in effect. 

Lava Beds National Monument is enduring extreme drought conditions while experiencing high temperatures, low humidity, and critically dry fuels. To reduce the possibility of accidental human-caused fire that could threaten visitors and employees, fire restrictions are being implemented.  

Wood, charcoal fires, and smoking outdoors are prohibited. Gas, propane, alcohol, and tablet/cube stoves are permitted. These restrictions will be in place until rescinded.
