Stricter rules going into effect include:

— requiring spark arrestors for all off-road vehicles, chain saws and other internal combustion equipment;

— welding, grinding, cutting and use of explosives on forest land will require authorization by USFS officials;

— wood or charcoal fires will be allowed only in designated fire rings in officially designated campgrounds and picnic areas;

— use of gas, liquid and jelly-petroleum stoves and lanterns will be prohibited in the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness areas; and

— smoking will be prohibited on U.S. Forest Service lands within the forest boundary, except within enclosed vehicles or buildings, or within a developed recreation site.

Forestry officials asked visitors to Cleveland National Forest to be aware of prevailing wildfire conditions and to take appropriate prevention measures.
