With increasingly cooler weather, and recent precipitation across the Northwest, fire managers for the Gifford Pinchot National Forest have rescinded public use fire restrictions.  Campfires are now allowed outside of designated, developed campgrounds across the Pinchot forest.  The public is reminded to use existing fire rings for campfires wherever possible, and to always bring a shovel and extra water to ensure the fire is out and cold to the touch when you leave.  Pinchot officials are encouraging visitors to stay informed on the latest fire information and observe emergency closure areas as conditions can change quickly.
