At last - I can now _officially_ tell you this :)
Please note the bold text - this is different from our past restrictions (and takes us into the guidelines the other National Forests have used for years)
Current Fire Use Restrictions and Guidelines:
Wood and Charcoal fires are ONLY permitted in designated fire rings
at developed sites. (developed sites are campgrounds, picnic areas
and yellow post sites).
Campfire Permits are issued for all fires (wood/charcoal/camp stove) in
Yellow Post Sites - Campgrounds and Picnic Areas do not require a Camp Fire
Permit.
Campfire Permits are issued for all campstove use outside of designated
sites.
Recreational Shooting is limited to designated sites, and locations
operated under special use permit only: except those engaged in legal
hunting.
An approved spark arrester is required for any internal combustion
engine operated off state or county highways or designated forest
roads. These include chainsaws, generators, motorcycles, and off-
highway vehicles.
A permit is required for welding or operating any torch device with
an open flame or for use of any explosive device.
Fireworks are always prohibited on the San Bernardino National
Forest. Tracer, armor piercing, steel core, and Teflon ammunitions
are also prohibited, as is discharging a firearm at any exploding
target.

visit to determine local conditions and use guidelines
