Please honor the concerns of your fellow CL Valley residents.

Please suspend allowing camp fires during the dry season. Not only is it a risk in spreading a fire, it affects air quality in our valley and thus the health of our residents

I understand there legal but safe or not safe, the extra smoke we do not need. If people want to do marshmellows try your prophane stone

In addition to being a wildfire risk, campfires present a terrible local air quality issue. Given our state's perilous permanent drought, it only makes sense to keep fire out of our forests.

Anyone even contemplating having a campfire at this point should be locked up! Please, no campfires.

Common sense would seem to everyone that having a fire when we r in extreme fire danger is not very common sensical?!?!

I understand the moments a campfire can bring to a camp, but having campfires in our valley has always seemed at odds with the wildfire and especially the air quality consequences our valley faces. A collective C-L valley ban on campfires w/in the fire season will have a positive impact on 1. their business and 2. their neighbors and friends.

Current conditions render open fires unjustifiable. It is a judgement error to continue usual practices in highly unusual conditions.

Please do not allow open campfires in the campfires.

It shouldn't even be a question with the current state of our state that ALL campfires or fires of any kind should be banned.

Please suspend campfires whilst the state is in this wildfire crisis.

Giving up campfires is a very small sacrifice that campers can make for the greater good and the urgent necessity to prevent wildfires. Campfires also harm air quality, which is horrendous already.

I support a ban on campfires at private campgrounds, rafting companies, B&B's and rental agencies.

Bad air quality is a risk to the unhealthy. Fires are a risk to everybody. At this time of year we should take every step to avoid or eliminate the risk of fires.

If there isn't a ban perhaps the owners would be more comfortable to suspend having campfires for a time?

No open fires of any kind even for cooking. It’s a devastating time. Tahoe is regulating this also

With the unprecedented fire season we're experiencing here in California, and the "high season" just beginning, allowing open fires of any sort right now is incredibly irresponsible. Yes, campfires are nice to have, but they cannot outweigh the risk to neighboring lives and property right now.
