Campfire restrictions have been lifted on the Naches Ranger District.District officials say campfires are now allowed in designated campgrounds and in the Goat Rocks, Norse Peak and William O. Douglas Wilderness Areas of the Naches Ranger District. “Shorter daylight hours, cooler temperatures and some precipitation in the Cascades prompted us to permit campfires again.  Even though restrictions have been lessened, there is still a risk for wildland fires,” said Forest Fire Management Officer Keith Satterfield. He says
visitors should use an established fire pit or campfire ring in campgrounds, clear flammable materials from around the pit, keep the fire small, and make sure it is dead out and cold to the touch before leaving.
Remember, fire danger remains high and every precaution should be taken to insure a campfire does not become a wildfire.  If you find an unattended fire or spot smoke, call 911.
