How to read this

Source-linked, not official

Each row points to the source BFP checked. Use this as a monitor, then confirm with the official agency before a trip.

The table emphasizes area-wide public-use fire restrictions. Local wilderness, campground, river corridor, incident, or permit-area rules may still apply.

Unknown means BFP has not published a claim yet. It does not mean campfires are allowed.
