LNF Increases Fire Danger Rating to ‘High’
The Lincoln National Forest has raised its fire danger rating from Moderate to HIGH across all three ranger districts, effective March 16.
While no campfire restrictions are currently in place, conditions are serious — dry grass and brush ignite easily, and fires can spread fast.
If you’re heading out: Never leave a campfire unattended. Drown it, stir it, and add more water until cold. Avoid burning on windy days.
