Even without restrictions

Build campfires in fire rings, away from brush and overhanging branches.
Never leave a fire unattended. Drown, stir, and feel it until it's cold.
Fireworks are always prohibited on federal public lands.
Check before burning yard debris. A burn permit may be required.
Watch for hot, dry, windy fall days. Fire danger can climb quickly.
