dunefreak Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I just got word that the new fire ban includes Dumont. 😦 This includes propane stoves, BBQ grills, everything. Hopefully it gets lifted before dune season.   1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjock15 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Well fireworks are always illegal but nobody enforces that so hopefully it’s the same for fires.  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TADYAMAHA Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hopefully the BLM will realize that in the past, no matter how big the camp fires at Dumont get, they have never ignited anything of any significance and allow us to have the camp fires that we enjoy so much. God bless all the others in the western US that have been affected by the recent fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumont is in CA therefore that is the only reason the area falls under it. They could have made exceptions for some CA desert areas, but we all know that won't happen especially since this decision was probably made very quickly as a way to prevent any future fires anywhere in the state. Also remember that this fire ban wasn't made by the Barstow BLM. This came down from above and they asked me to share the information. I am sure they know and aren't too worried about anything burning out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Update as of 9/22/2020 Campfires are still not allowed. BBQs and anything that uses gas with a shutoff valve is allowed with fire permit. (No charcoal, wood fires, or smudge pots) Click here to get your fire permit for free. (This is not something that is heavily enforced, but technically its the law. Its best to get one just in case.)  After emailing with Barstow BLM, they believe that the "no flame" fire restrictions will be in place at Halloween.
