This is a reminder that Fireworks of ANY kind are illegal in the forest, as are any open fires outside of designated campfire rings in the campgrounds. (Propane, gas and sterno fires are permitted with a valid Campfire Permit).
Patrols are being stepped up in our area this weekend. If you are cited for violation of the above, it is not just a ticket. Violators are subject to a MANDATORY appearance before the Judge in the Federal Court building in downtown Los Angeles who can impose fines not exceeding $5,000 as well as Jail time.
The Judges take fire violations in our forest Very Seriously.
