  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    Yosemite Superintendent's Compendium (May 2026) under 36 CFR 2.13 states fires are generally prohibited except in designated areas: campgrounds, picnic areas, Housekeeping Camp, and residential areas within fire rings and barbecue grates, plus wilderness campsites below 9,600 feet in existing fire rings. Fires are prohibited on all beaches. Wood-fire hours are limited May 1 through September 30 in Yosemite Valley campgrounds. The text shows no current stage, order number, or dated park-wide fire restriction notice.

    Superintendent's Compendium

  • Unknown changed to Campfires allowed

    The generated Forest Alert Summary states that no active forest fire restriction alerts were listed in the Forest Alerts section, so the forest-wide status is none. The page does not explicitly state campfire rules. The 14-day camping limit (Forest Order #08-03-00-25-02) concerns campsite duration, not fire use, and is excluded.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    Superintendent's Compendium text under 36 CFR 2.13 states that lighting or maintaining fires is generally prohibited except in designated areas and receptacles, including named campground fire rings, picnic shelters, and developed sites. Gas/propane grills have no restrictions on location. Residential burning of leaves or wood products is prohibited park-wide. No current order, effective date, or fire danger level appears in the supplied text.

    Superintendent's Compendium - Indiana Dunes National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    Superintendent's Compendium dated June 16, 2026 (36 CFR 2.13). Fires are prohibited in all areas except those named, so campfires are allowed only in developed or designated sites. Wood and charcoal fires are prohibited in the backcountry, and Sterno or fossil-fuel backpack stoves are permitted there. Rim campgrounds and picnic areas allow wood and charcoal fires only in fire rings or elevated charcoal grills. Wood fires are never allowed at Redwall Cavern (River Mile 33). Along the Colorado River, wood and charcoal fires are permitted under River Permit conditions.

    Superintendent's Compendium Effective Jun 16, 2026

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    No forest-wide or land-unit-wide campfire ban is listed. Section 2.13 permits open fires only in established fire rings or grates in campgrounds, picnic areas, residential areas, and designated backcountry campgrounds, and in river corridors within a fire blanket or fire pan. Open fires are prohibited at listed backcountry campgrounds and in undesignated campsites except Lower Nyack, Upper Nyack, and Coal Creek campgrounds. Wood fires are prohibited in backcountry areas during the winter season (November 20 to May 1), which has not started as of the retrieval date. Personal wood fuel camp stoves are allowed where camping is permitted.

    Compendium - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service) Order 2026 Superintendent's Compendium

  • Developed sites only changed to Restrictions in some areas

    The page describes Stage 1 to Stage 3 fire restriction levels in general terms but does not state that any forest-wide stage order is in effect. It lists permanent year-round fire restrictions, including campfire restrictions, in several localized areas, and the Fire Danger Status is shown as Low for the Flagstaff, Mogollon Rim and Red Rock ranger districts. Top-level status is partial because the only active restrictions described are localized; campfire_policy reflects the strictest localized rule.

    Coconino National Forest | Restrictions | Forest Service

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    Superintendent's Compendium approved 5/25/2026 states open fires and charcoal fires are prohibited unless in a designated fire grate. Open fires are prohibited throughout the park backcountry. Fire grates are listed at Elk Mountain Campground and the Visitor Center Picnic Area. No stove restrictions appear in the supplied text.

    Superintendent's Compendium - Wind Cave National Park (U.S. National Park Service) Effective May 25, 2026

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    No forest-wide fire restriction is in the supplied text. A Forest Supervisor order restricts camping within 1/4 mile of Slippery Brook Road and East Branch Road (Town Hall Road) except at designated campsites, and restricts wood or charcoal fires within 1/4 mile except at designated sites. Portable pressurized liquid or gas camp stoves are allowed. Fire Danger Status is Low, which alone does not establish a forest-wide posture.

    White Mountain National Forest | Town Hall Road Camping and Fire Restrictions | Forest Service Order R9-22-05-26-04 Effective Jun 1, 2026 to Jun 1, 2031

  • Unknown changed to Campfires allowed

    The page says the White River National Forest will lift fire restrictions beginning Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, and lists an alert saying the forest is lifting fire restrictions on that date. It states there are no fire-related closures. Restrictions could be reinstated if conditions change. No localized camping fire-use rules are supported by the text.

    White River National Forest | Incident Information | Forest Service Effective Sep 25, 2026

  • Restrictions in some areas changed to Unknown

    The page lists a Forest Supervisor's Orders alert and a Town Hall Road Camping and Fire Restrictions alert, but gives no text describing their fire-use terms, dates, or campfire rules. Fire Danger Status is listed as Low, which alone does not establish a forest-wide posture. Forest-wide campfire status cannot be determined from this page.

    Forest Order #0513-00-26-07 (Alert Start Date August 11, 2026) prohibits building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire within the Sequoia National Forest, except in the designated Campfire Areas listed in Exhibits A or B. The order is unstaged and its exhibits are not in the supplied text. Other alerts on the page are camping, glass container, day-use, or closure rules without fire-use content, so no localized fire-use rules are listed.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    Forest Order STF-16-2026-12 is in effect July 17 to December 31, 2026 and applies only within the High Fire Hazard Area, not forest-wide. Within that area, fires and campfires are prohibited except in the Developed Recreation Sites listed in Exhibit C. A California Campfire Permit holder may use a portable gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel stove there.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    The page states that campfires are not permitted in the backcountry and are only permitted at park-constructed fireplaces at Appalachian Trail huts and day-use shelters. Backpacking stoves are the required cooking method, and larger group-use portable stoves and grills are prohibited in the backcountry. No effective date or order number is given, so this is a standing backcountry rule rather than a dated restriction.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    The Superintendent's Compendium (approved January 08, 2026) states that lighting or maintaining a fire is generally prohibited park-wide, except in designated areas and receptacles. Campfires are permitted only in established fire rings in designated wilderness campsites, government-provided grills, or self-contained grills or stoves in designated picnic areas and campgrounds. Fires are prohibited at Douglas Spring and Grass Shack campgrounds. No unstaged order or alert in the supplied text fully bans campfires park-wide, so the top-level status is partial with campfires limited to developed or designated sites.

    Special order 02-09-04-24-02 restricts campfires within the Beaver Creek Recreation Area to designated Forest Service campsites. No forest-wide or land-unit-wide fire restriction was found in the supplied text, so the posture is localized.

    This page covers only the Antilon Lake Dispersed Recreation Management Area order, which restricts camping longer than 7 consecutive days, off-road motor vehicle use, and firearm discharge; it contains no campfire or stove restriction. The sidebar lists a headline 'Termination of Stage 1 Public Use Restrictions and Campfire Ban' with no date in the supplied text, which is the only explicit lifting evidence, so the forest-wide posture is 'none' with campfires allowed, subject to review.

    A Forest Service press release dated May 4, 2026 says fire restrictions were lifted across the four National Forests in North Carolina. The Retrieved date is 2026-10-15, and the page shows no later restriction. The listed fire danger ratings are Low and Moderate, which is context only.

    A localized Max Patch forest order restricts camping, fires, animals, aircraft and bicycles in the Max Patch area. The page does not state the campfire rule, so campfire policy is unknown. No forest-wide or land-unit-wide fire posture is given.

  • Developed sites only changed to Unknown

    The supplied National Forests in Florida fire page gives no forest-wide camping or backpacking fire-use restriction. Its fire danger status reads 'No Fire Danger Information at this Time,' and the listed alerts (Alcoholic Beverages, Camping in excess of 14 days, Travel Management and OHV) are not fire-use restrictions. The page does not state that restrictions are absent, so the status cannot be set to none.

  • Restrictions in some areas changed to Campfires allowed

    Page states no public use fire restrictions are in effect as of September 23, 2026 (page modified that date; retrieved 2026-10-15). Fire Danger Rating is HIGH. Page also lists year-round campfire restrictions in Sportsmans Park, Mount Hood Wilderness, and Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness, but does not state the specific campfire rule for those areas.

    Mt. Hood National Forest | Incident Information | Forest Service

  • Partial changed to Partial

    The page lists year-round campfire restrictions in three named specific areas but gives no forest-wide order or campfire rule for them. The general text about banning campfires is conditional ('Usually, when entering fire restrictions') and does not state an active forest-wide restriction. Fire danger is listed as High.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    The 2026 Superintendent's Compendium contains no current forest-wide or park-wide fire restriction or stage. The 36 CFR 2.13 standing rule generally prohibits fires except in park-provided or approved fire rings, grills, and cooking stoves, and allows fires unless the park implements fire restrictions or closures. One localized closure applies: the Chapin Mesa Picnic Area cooking grills are closed to fire of any kind.

    A September 23, 2026 press release says fire restrictions were scheduled to be rescinded September 28, 2026 on all National Forest System lands managed by MBRTB. The retrieved date is after that scheduled date. The page does not state the campfire rule and does not include a confirmation that the rescission occurred, so campfire_policy is unknown.

    Forest Order 05-07-00-26-05 (effective June 4, 2026 through January 31, 2027) prohibits building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire on Los Padres National Forest System lands except in the Designated Campfire Use Sites listed in Exhibit A, which are campgrounds and day use areas. The order is unstaged and forest-wide, so status is partial and campfires are developed_sites_only. Persons with a valid California Campfire Permit may use portable lanterns or stoves using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel. Fire danger is listed as Very High on the page.

    Forest Order #19-24-04 places National Forest lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin under year-round campfire restrictions. Campfires (wood, charcoal, or other solid fuels) are allowed only within permanently installed iron rings in campgrounds listed in Exhibit A. The order is forest-wide and unstaged, and it prohibits campfires except in named developed sites, so status is partial. No stove, charcoal-specific, or shutoff-valve rules are stated in the supplied text.

  • Restrictions in some areas changed to Campfires allowed

    A later press release dated September 23, 2026 states the Klamath National Forest rescinds fire restrictions effective midnight Sept. 24, superseding the earlier September 8 release that only eased restrictions in wilderness areas. This supports a forest-wide status of none. The page's alert list still names a Trinity Alps Wilderness Area Restrictions item with no supplied text, and the fire danger zone lines are undated, so those remain for review. No localized fire-use rules are supported by the supplied text.

    The Forest Alert Summary states that no active forest fire restriction alerts were listed in the Forest Alerts section, and the page shows no featured alerts. The two listed forest orders (Forest Service Road 518 Closure and Enduro Multiple-Use Trail Closure) close roads or trails to all travel and are not camping or backpacking fire-use rules. Campfire policy is not stated in the text. State and local burn bans are referenced generally but are not USFS restrictions.

    The Kaibab National Forest alerts page states there are no forest-wide fire restrictions at this time, with a no-restrictions alert start date of July 18, 2026. Fire danger is listed as Low for the North Kaibab, Tusayan, and Williams Ranger Districts. A separate Camping/Campfire Closure within Proximity to Developed Sites alert (Forest Order #03-07-01-23-02) is listed as a localized rule, but its prohibited area and campfire rule are not stated in the supplied text.

  • Unknown changed to Developed sites only

    The compendium's 36 CFR 2.13 fire rule prohibits lighting or maintaining fires except in designated park-provided fire rings, standing grills, or community fire rings, so campfires are limited to developed or designated sites. The text gives no dated order, stage, or current fire-danger posture. A separate localized rule bars fuel-burning stoves and lanterns within 50 feet of fuel-storage tanks or dispensing facilities.

    A Sept. 3, 2026 release headlined 'Fire Restrictions Lifted' is the latest fire-restriction item and post-dates the Aug. 6, 2026 Stage 1 and 2 restriction release, so the lifting controls. The alerts panel shows no featured alerts and Moderate fire danger on the listed districts. No localized fire-use rules are supported by the text.

  • Unknown changed to No campfires

    The Superintendent's Compendium (approved January 9, 2026) states that no open fires, including wood, charcoal and/or gas fire pits, are permitted anywhere in the park. This is an unstaged park-wide campfire ban. The text does not address portable camping stoves park-wide. A stricter localized rule prohibits all fires and all cooking devices in the Salt Basin Dunes area.

    The only forest fire restriction alert listed is the Canfield Mountain Fire Restrictions order, started May 10, 2026, to mitigate human-caused wildfires during Idaho's Closed Fire Season. The text gives no forest-wide posture and does not state which campfire, charcoal, or stove uses are restricted, so the campfire policy is unknown. No forest-wide fire restriction or lifting statement appears on the page.

The order is listed as active with no end date, last updated June 10, 2026. The page lists fire danger as Low for several ranger districts, which does not by itself set the restriction status.

    Standing compendium text limits open fires to NPS designated and installed fire rings and grills, regardless of season, and lists Jackson Lake shoreline campfires as restricted, with a written-permit exception on the west shoreline when high water is below 6,772 feet. No park-wide fire ban or stage is stated, so the top-level posture is partial.

It bars building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove within 100 feet of the base of any cliff or the back of a rock shelter unless at a designated site.

  • Unknown changed to Restrictions in some areas

    Order BKF-198-2026 is a Stage 2 fire prohibition covering only the Wyoming Bearlodge and Hell Canyon Ranger Districts, in effect from 12 p.m. September 24, 2026 through 12 p.m. December 15, 2026 unless rescinded. It prohibits building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, charcoal barbecue, or grill, except a device solely fueled by liquid or gas that can be turned on and off in an area barren or cleared of flammable materials within three feet. Because the order covers only part of the forest and no forest-wide posture is given, the top-level status is partial. The text notes South Dakota National Forest lands return to Stage 1 but does not describe those rules.

    Forest-wide Los Padres Fire Use and Firearm Restrictions (Forest Order 05-07-00-26-05, starting June 4, 2026) prohibit building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire on National Forest System lands except in Designated Campfire Use Sites. The order is unstaged and names an exception, so top-level status is partial. Separate localized fire-use orders prohibit wood or charcoal campfires and cooking fires in the Santa Barbara Front Country and West Cuesta areas, and prohibit overnight camping and fires on San Carpoforo Beach.

  • Unknown changed to Campfires allowed

    A Sept. 23, 2026 release says the Klamath National Forest rescinds fire restrictions effective midnight Sept. 24, after recent weather reduced fire danger. This later rescission supersedes the Sept. 8, 2026 release on easing wilderness restrictions. The release does not restate a campfire rule, so campfire_policy is inferred as allowed from the rescission. The page still lists a Trinity Alps Wilderness Area Restrictions alert with no content in the supplied text, so no localized rule is recorded.
