Crater Lake National Park is implementing a full fire ban effective on Saturday.

Marsha McCabe of the National Park Service said warm, dry and breezy conditions along with the continued elevated risk for fire in southern Oregon makes the move necessary.

McCabe said these restrictions will remain in effect until further notice:

*Wood fires and charcoal fires are not allowed

*Portable stoves and lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed in campgrounds, picnic areas, backcountry areas and residential areas. Camp stoves must only be used in areas clear of flammable material for a distance of five feet in all directions and must remain attended at all times when in use

Smoking is permitted only:

*In vehicles, provided that an ashtray is used for ashes and butts.

*While stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or free of all flammable materials. Ashes and butts must be disposed of safely and may not be discarded on the ground

*Fireworks are prohibited in the park at all times.
