The National Forest has announced that lands in the Carson and Bridgeport Ranger Districts will reopen on Tuesday morning, September 15, after a temporary cautionary closure.

“A very serious fire threat still exists and we are asking that the public be extra cautious when recreating not to spark another wildfire," said Humboldt-Toiyabe Forest Supervisor Bill Dunkelberger.

The forest system remains in Stage 2 Fire restrictions which means no campfires anywhere on the forest, including within developed campgrounds, day use areas and dispersed camp areas. It is also prohibited to use a chainsaw after 1 p.m. or to operate or park a vehicle on dry vegetation.
