IDAHO, USA — Idaho Panhandle National Forests is reminding visitors that fireworks are always prohibited on National Forest lands, regardless of weather conditions or holidays.
“For a fun and safe recreational experience this Fourth of July, let the stars bring the sparkle!” said a USFS news release.
Exploding targets and other pyrotechnic devices, such as Tannerite, are also prohibited on public lands administered by the USFS.
A few other tips from the USFS:
CAMPFIRES
Visitors are asked to be very careful with fire. Be sure to pack a shovel and a bucket for extinguishing your fire. Never leave a fire unattended and, before leaving a campsite, douse the fire with water, stir and check for heat with your bare hand. ALL fires must be DEAD OUT before leaving a site.
