UKIAH, Calif. - The Bureau of Land Management Ukiah Field Office has lifted fire use restrictions for Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties, due to cooler temperatures and measurable rain.
Lifting fire restrictions allow the public to resume some outdoor recreational activities, including target shooting. Shooters are encouraged to check weather conditions and red flag warnings to avoid shooting in hot, dry and windy conditions.
Shooters should use appropriate ammunition and non-metal targets placed against a high, soft dirt hillside cleared of rocks and vegetation, and they are asked to remove spent shells, targets and any trigger trash to help keep America’s public lands beautiful and enjoyable for all. Check with the Ukiah Field Office for public lands that are legal for target shooting.
Lifting of fire restrictions also allows campfires with a valid California campfire permit, available free at all BLM, CAL FIRE and Forest Service offices and at www.preventwildfireca.org/Permits.
The BLM is committed to keeping public landscapes healthy and productive. For information on preventing wildfires, visit http://www.readyforwildfire.org/ or call the Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000.
