Additional fire safety messages from the USDA Forest Service to recreationists are below. Campers and other public land users need to follow basic fire safety rules:

  • Scrape back dead grass and forest materials from your campfire site.
  • Keep your campfire small and under control; make it only as big as you need it.
  • Keep a shovel and a water container nearby to douse escaped embers.
  • Do not park vehicles in tall dry grass, since hot tailpipes can cause fine fuels to catch on fire.
  • Remember that any ignition – cigarettes, campfires, gunfire, vehicles – could be the cause of a wildland fire. Grass and other vegetation can dry quickly and is extremely flammable.
  • Always follow current fire restrictions.

To report a wildland fire, please call the interagency dispatch centers below:

  • Routt National Forest: Craig Dispatch Center, (970) 826-5037
  • Medicine Bow National Forest, Thunder Basin National Grassland: Casper Dispatch, (800) 295-9952

For more information contact your local Forest Service Office, go to our website at fs.usda.gov/mbr, or follow the MBRTB on Twitter, @FS_MBRTB.
