Fires will only be allowed in designated areas.
This ain't the desert, folks. We're somebody’s personal property with plenty of highly combustible trees and grass, and other organics. PLEASE respect the fire areas. No open ground fires will be allowed at personal camping areas.  All personal fires must be contained in some type of burn barrel.  If you've got something you wanna burn, please contact: info@burntoranges.org
