The majority of the San Juan National Forest has received measurable rain and snowfall, and fire danger has moderated.
Fire restrictions on the San Juan National Forest will be rescinded at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. This means that beginning Wednesday, visitors to the forest may have a campfire.
In spite of the rain, snow and increased humidity, San Juan National Forest officials remind visitors to always practice fire safety, remain diligent and prevent human-caused fire.
Visitors are encouraged to practice these principles of outdoor fire safety:
