Source-linked, not official
Each row points to the source BFP checked. Use this as a monitor, then confirm with the official agency before a trip.
The table emphasizes area-wide public-use fire restrictions. Local wilderness, campground, river corridor, incident, or permit-area rules may still apply.
Unknown means BFP has not published a claim yet. It does not mean campfires are allowed.
