As summer ushers in dry air, yellowing grasses and high temperatures, what do southern Utahns need to know about fire restrictions on public lands?
St. George News contacted the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Utah Division of State Parks and Zion National Park, among others, for the official word.
Those camping on land stewarded by the BLM or other federal agencies can build a campfire if complying with current restrictions. As of June 1, it is a closed burn season in Utah, said Paula Imlay, a fire prevention specialist and public information officer with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands.
"If you have a campfire in your backyard, you can have it for cooking — so roasting hot dogs, marshmallows, stuff like that," she said. "But you can't do debris burning or anything."
