Q. "Did the widespread thunderstorms last week remove the fire restrictions across the state?"

A. Certainly not the Game and Fish’s fire restrictions, and it is doubtful after the intense heat and drought of June and July that other agencies lifted restrictions. It’s a good idea to check with the land management agency about current fire restrictions before camping. We hope to get enough moisture to have fire restrictions lifted before hunting seasons. Fires are prohibited year-round on state school trust lands.
