MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
Alabama's dry weather has prompted the U.S.
Forest Service to ban the use of campfires in Alabama's four national
forests except in developed recreation sites.
Forest Supervisor Steve
Lohr said the restrictions apply to the Bankhead, Conecuh, Talladega and
Tuskegee national forests. He said fireworks are also banned throughout
the national forests, including developed recreation sites.
He said the restrictions
will remain in effect until Aug. 31, unless weather conditions indicate
otherwise. Anyone violating the restrictions could be fined up to
$5,000.
