Fire restrictions end at Mojave National Preserve and Castle Mountains National Monument

Fire restrictions have been lifted at the Mojave National Preserve and Castle Mountains National Monument due to a decrease in fire danger. The two popular tourist destinations were previously under fire prevention orders, put in place to protect the natural environment and visitors from wildfires.

The National Park Service (NPS) announced that both areas are now reverting back to their standard fire regulations. These rules allow for controlled fires under specific conditions, which can be found on the NPS website. The decision to lift the restrictions follows a careful evaluation of the current fire risk.

Visitors are encouraged to review and adhere to the normal fire regulations to ensure the continued safety and preservation of these natural environments. Updates and further information can be found on the NPS’s official website.
