Andrews:
I'm Richard Andrews, director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. This is an EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory from our agency and the National Safety Council. :10

Announcer:
In California, you need a permit to build an open fire on state or federal lands. That means you're not allowed to cook over a campfire, a barbecue, or a portable stove without a permit. On private land, you must also have the owner's written permission. Authorities review campfire restrictions almost daily during the summer, and permits may be restricted, or even suspended, without advance notice. Among the agencies that issue permits are the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Check with authorities before you build a campfire on restricted lands. :34

Announcer:
This EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory was brought to you by the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation. :05
