The Idaho Department of Lands has announced the rescinding of the extended closed fire season order that was put in place due to dry and hot conditions across the state. This decision was made following a decrease in fire danger and a shift in weather patterns that have reduced the risk of wildfire.
The extended closed fire season order was put into effect earlier in the year to help prevent wildfires and protect people, property, and natural resources. During this time, restrictions were placed on activities such as campfires, debris burning, and other outdoor activities that could pose a fire risk.
With the rescinding of the order, the Department of Lands is reminding residents to still exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when engaging in activities that could potentially spark a fire. Even though the fire danger may be lower now, it is important for individuals to remain vigilant and take steps to prevent wildfires.
Officials are also urging people to be mindful of the environment and their surroundings while enjoying the outdoors. By being responsible and taking necessary precautions, everyone can help ensure that wildfire risks are minimized and that Idaho’s natural landscapes are preserved.
As the state enters the fall season, the Idaho Department of Lands will continue to monitor fire conditions and provide updates as needed. By staying informed and following safety guidelines, residents can do their part in helping to prevent wildfires and protect the beautiful landscapes of Idaho.
