Due to the extreme fire danger, interagency fire management officials in east-central Idaho are implementing Stage 1 fire restrictions.
The Central Idaho Fire Restrictions Area encompasses all Forest Service within the Salmon-Challis National Forest (outside of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness), Bureau of Land Management (BLM)–Salmon and Challis Field Offices, along with state, state endowment, and privately owned forested lands within the Central Idaho Dispatch Zone.
CBS 2 reports, Stage 1 fire restrictions primarily apply to campfires and smoking.
Under these restrictions, campfires are allowed only in recreation sites within metal/concrete fire pits, and smoking outside of an enclosed vehicle or building is prohibited.
