campfires

Rules restricting the use of campfires and smoking will be terminated September 17, for the Sawtooth National Forest.

The public will once again be able to enjoy campfires in non-designated areas as Stage 1 Fire Restrictions will end on many federal and state public lands in south central Idaho.

If you are planning on using an Idaho Power campground or park anytime soon don't expect to have a campfire. Idaho Power announced on social media that campfires and charcoal grills are banned at all of its campgrounds and parks statewide.

Campfires and propane-fueled devices have been banned at north Idaho State Parks while other federal agencies have expanded fire restrictions in southern Idaho as fire conditions worsen.
