Curtis

A small, abandoned campfire without a fire ring was found smoldering in the upper Curtis Canyon area on the evening of July 5th.  Many and most of the Jackson district camping areas are designated dispersed campsites, requiring campers to use identified numbered sites. For fire safety and protection, these areas require using existing metal fire rings when building a campfire. Building a new fire ring is not advised and may lead to a high cos$ when flames escape the fire ring.
