BLM Utah Fire Restrictions

The Bureau of Land Management implements fire restrictions to prevent losses from human-caused wildfires brought on by extreme drought, high fire danger conditions, and the increased use of public lands. The BLM asks the public to use their Fire Sense to help prevent human-caused wildfires.
