Due to current and forecasted weather conditions coupled with the extremely dry vegetation conditions in Sanpete County, the State Forester has determined that measures must be taken to prevent the ignition of forest and rangeland fires. Therefore, Sanpete County has enacted stage two fire restrictions.

Those restrictions are as follows.

1. No building, maintaining, attending or using any fire, campfire, or stove fire. This includes charcoal grills and barbecues, coal and wood burning stoves and tent stoves and includes use at homes and in developed camping and picnic grounds.

2. No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, trailer or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area that is paved or free from dry vegetation.

3. No discharging or using any fireworks, tracer ammunition or other pyrotechnic devices including exploding targets.

4. No cutting, welding or grinding metal in areas of dry vegetation.

5. No operating a motorcycle, chainsaw, ATV, or other small internal combustion engine without an approved and working spark arrestor.

These restrictions are in effect for all unincorporated private and all state lands within Sanpete County.
