>> Today, the Angeles NF and the San Bernardino NF raised their
>> Fire Danger Levels to "Very High" from "High".  As far as I can tell,
>> this change means two things:
>>
>> 1) Wood and charcoal fires are not allowed, even in developed
>> campgrounds.  Gas and propane campstoves are still allowed.
>> As always, there is no mention of advanced solid-fuel stoves,
>> such as Esbit stoves, on these Web sites, and the presumption
>> is that they are not approved for use in these areas.
>>
>> 2) Access may be restricted to areas of the forest.  A local
>> Forest Service office should be contacted before entry.
>> (This is always a good idea, anyway, if a bit impractical
>> at times due to lack of 24/7 service.)
>>
>>
>> References:
>>
>> The Angeles NF has "Very High" on its home page, but the
>> detailed link is to the "High" press release of July.  The San
>> Bernardino NF Web site says "High" on its home page, but the detailed
>> link says "Very High".  The Cleveland NF is holding at a "High" Fire
>> Danger Level, according to their Web site and their front desk
>> (858-673-6180).
