Corps Instates Burn Ban at Pines

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Peck Project has elected to ban all open fires within the Pines Recreation Area. Building, maintaining, attending or using a campfire, fire pit or charcoal grill is prohibited. Liquid petroleum and LPG stoves that can be turned on and off are allowed. Additionally, smoking is allowed only within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.

If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact the Fort Peck Project Office at 406-526-3411.
