The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in mid-April announced seasonal fire restrictions for Southern California.
Fire restrictions will go into effect on public lands in Imperial, southern Inyo, eastern Kern, Los Angeles, eastern Mono, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties from April 15 through Oct. 29. The order establishes stage I and stage II fire restrictions across the California Desert District.
“These seasonal restrictions help safeguard public land visitors, communities, adjacent private lands and natural resources from wildfire risk,” said Fire Management Officer Paul Gibbs with the U.S. Wildland Fire Service.
