It’s been a long week, and it’s one of the few remaining warm weekends before winter blows across the land. If you’re thinking about getting out for some well-deserved recreational activities this weekend, we’re with you! Great! 

However, due to current severe fire dangers and ongoing fire operations, such as the Elkhorn Fire blazing throughout the western North Dakota region, recreational activities are restricted. 

For instance, travel by all-wheeled motor vehicles on non-surfaced (Prairie Two-track) National Forest System Roads is currently prohibited as per the DPG’s Emergency Fire Order and Restrictions. 

Additionally, activity restrictions and exemptions exist for building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire. 

However, there are conditional provisions for liquid petroleum stoves and grills and set conditions for smoking in designated spaces. 

To read the official Order, view the accompanying map, or find more helpful DPG information, please visit our website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/dpg/alerts-notices/?aid=91474

Please be careful out there and if you detect any fire, please call 911 immediately so the amazing first responders can do what they do best! 

Thank you for your support and patience, and have a safe, awesome, and fun-filled weekend!
