Bureau of Land Management will lift fire restrictions today for areas overseen by the agencies Yuma- and Lake Havasu-based field offices, according to a press release.

The lifted restrictions include public lands in the Yuma, La Paz and Mohave counties in Arizona and Imperial, San Bernardino and Riverside counties in California.

Significant moisture has been received throughout these areas and fire restrictions are no longer necessary, BLM said.

“The BLM greatly appreciates the public’s cooperation in helping to minimize the number of human-caused wildfires this summer on BLM lands,” said Angie Lara, BLM Colorado River district manager. “Even though restrictions are no longer needed, we’re asking the public to be very careful when using fire. Under the right conditions our public lands still have potential for wildfires to spread rapidly and become dangerous.”

BLM suggests exercising the following precautions when using fire: ensure a 10-foot circle cleared around the campfire; have a shovel and plenty of water on hand; and remember to put the fire “dead out” before leaving.

Smokers should make sure cigarettes or cigars are put out when they are through smoking and dispose of them properly.

BLM also reminds motorists not to park motor vehicles where the exhaust could cause grass or other vegetation to ignite.
