× How to Use the Map

Each state is divided into areas, and each area divided into units. Units represent lands managed by local, state, federal or tribal agencies. These units are represented by one or more counties on the map.

When a unit within a county is in fire restrictions/closures, that county will be shaded: GREEN for a local burn ban; YELLOW for Stage 1; ORANGE for Stage 2; and RED when units are closed.

The unit with the highest level of restrictions/closures within each county determines its color. For example, if two units within an county are in restrictions - one in Stage 1 and the other in Stage 2 - the higher restriction takes precedence and the entire county is shaded ORANGE. That a whole county is shaded one color DOES NOT mean that all units within that county are in restrictions/closures or in the same level of restrictions/closures.

For specific information, browse to the county or unit that you’re interested in and READ THE TEXT below the map. If you need more information, contact the agency who manages the area you plan to visit.
