Fire officials in Mendocino County have invoked fire restrictions in the Mendocino National Forest as of today. Forest Fire Management Officer Curtis Coots said, “These restrictions are designed to minimize the chances of human-caused fires in undeveloped areas of the forest, “Visitors can still enjoy a campfire or stove fire in designated fire-safe campgrounds or in Wilderness Areas so long as they have a valid California Campfire Permit”.
