If I have an emergency on the National Forest, who should I contact?
If you have an emergency on the National Forest, the best thing to do is call 911 and they will dispatch the nearest help.
Visiting the Forests
Weather, trail, and road conditions can be highly dynamic and may change with little or no warning. Other changes in both natural and management conditions may also affect your visit. The Forest Service cannot foresee or control most of these changes, but we do our best to make this information available to help visitors avoid unpleasant surprises. It is your responsibility to “know before you go.” So, before your trip, check the weather, learn about trail and road conditions, and check for important notices.

Campfire Safety
DO NOT leave fires unattended.
Use the provided fire ring at designated campsites and within developed campgrounds -
If using charcoal briquettes, soak them in water until they are cold to the touch before disposing of them.
When camping in areas that do NOT have fire rings provided -
Build fires away from branches and clear flammable vegetation, such as leaves and grass, away from the fire area.
Have a supply of water on hand for extinquishing the fire.
Completly extinquish fires before leaving. Fires should be cold to the touch all the way through.
Pour water and stir.
Check to see if ashes are cool to touch. If the ashes are not cool to the touch, pour water and stir until they are.
