Lincoln National Forest Fire Restrictions Lifted Beginning Friday, July 2, 2021

July 1, 2021: Fire Danger Ratings have dropped to moderate after almost a week of rain. Fire Restrictions will be lifted on the Lincoln National Forest beginning Friday, July 2, 2021, at 6 am. Fires, campfires, grills, and smoking will once again be permitted within Lincoln National Forest.

Fireworks remain prohibited and are always illegal in the National Forest regardless of if fire restrictions are in place or not. The early arrival of the seasonal summer monsoons, accompanied by higher humidity levels and lower temperatures, has reduced fire danger across the forest.
