Hot, dry weather and increased potential for
fire have prompted forest officials to implement campfire restrictions in lower elevations of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Chelan County.
Public Information Officer Susan Peterson explains…
Other areas where campfires are allowed include:
• Summer homes and organizational sites with approved sites and special-use permits;
• Most Wilderness areas, except within two miles of Lake Chelan in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth and Glacier Peak Wilderness.
Campfire restrictions will remain in effect until there is significant moisture to lesson fire danger.
