[BULK] - [pct-l] Fire Permit

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

Each time I arrive at a USFS Ranger Station to pick up Wilderness
Permits, they ask if I have a "fire permit". If not, they'll issue on
for free and it's valid for a year. Though just about every wilderness
and forest area prohibits open fires, stove are permitted WITH the "fire
permit".

I'm wondering what effect the current weather is having on the fire
restrictions. Though I find campfires more of a nuisance than a comfort,
once in a while they're nice to have. I wonder if the moisture content
of the fuel has reached the level where the fire restrictions are
lifted.

And BTW- Even candle lanterns are technically prohibited, along with
campfires.

Hi all,

I remember reading a couple of weeks ago that we need to get our hands
on a fire permit to use our stoves on the trail in CA.  I was hoping to
find a link to some information on that subject on the PCT website, but
have been unsuccessful.  Do I have to go to a ranger station to get one?
If so, I'll be flying into San Diego and will have a day to pick one up.
Would anyone know where the closest ranger station from the airport is
located?

Thanks,
Ken Davis
