Full Notification

No time to be complacent, we are in HIGH Fire Danger until we get significant rain or snow.  There will be large numbers of visitors this weekend, some of which may not appreciate the significant fire danger in our area.  Call 911 if you see people with illegal fires, large fires, smoke or campfires that have not been put dead out.

Often, campfires that were put out the previous night start smoking and coming alive in the heat of the morning the following day.  On your morning hike keep a careful eye out for fresh campfire rings.  The embers of the fire should be cool to the touch.  Remember the Martis Fire that burned over 15,000 acres east of town in 2001? That was from a campfire that wasn't put completely out.

Expect some drift smoke in the area from the various fires buring in California.  Go to http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents for information on current fires.
