; Fire Officials Relax Statewide Restrictions Utahns longing to roast marshmallows over an open campfire may legally do so in designated campgrounds as of 12:01 a.m., Sept. 12, 2002. Recent storm aptivity has reduced the threat of wildland fire, so fire officials are reducing statewide fire restrictions to Stage-I. The only exception is the High Uintas Wilderness Area where no fire restrictions will be in effect. Stage-I fire restrictions apply to state, federal and private lands and prohibit: Open fires of any kind, except in facilities provided for them in improved campgrounds, picnic areas, or permanently improved places of habitation. Stoves fueled by petroleum or Liquid Propane are allowed outside out-side designated campgrounds. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, camp trailer, building, or developed recreation recre-ation site, or while in an area at least three feet in diameter cleared to mineral soil. Discharging, or using any kind of fireworks, tracer ammunition, ammu-nition, or other pyrotechnic device "Although recent storm activity activ-ity allows us to relax fire restrictions restric-tions the fire danger remains very real," said State Forester Joel Frandsen. "We'd like to remind everyone to enjoy their outdoor experience but to continue con-tinue to use fire with caution." Fire restriction orders will remain in effect until rescinded. Fire restriction orders do not apply to incorporated cities and towns.
