Wildland fire officials will life fire restrictions on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada Division of Forestry, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Forest Service on Wednesday.
As the weather is changing, officials said that fire danger in wildlands has eased.
Fire restrictions are still in effect for the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, including Mount Charleston, until Nov. 15.
Those restriction include no campfires within one mile of homes in Kyle and Lee Canyons, Deer Creek, Cold Creek and the communities of Trout Canyon and Mountain Springs. These areas contain signs advising the public of restrictions.
"We would like to thank the public for their prevention efforts this fire season," said BLM Fire Management Officer Kevin Oliver. "We ask that visitors continue to be safe with campfires and other sources of ignition due to the abundance of dry brush, grasses and trees."
For additional information, the public is encouraged to call 702-515-5000.
