This includes, but is not limited to, all fires in National Park Service (NPS) provided fire rings and barbeque boxes, shoreline fires, charcoal fires, tiki torches, incense burners, candles, pellet smokers, and propane campfires. Only self-contained propane or gas cookstoves and lanterns are allowed during the full fire ban.

Fire restrictions help reduce the chance of human-caused wildfires during prolonged high summer temperatures. Use caution when smoking and dispose of cigarette butts in approved receptacles.
