I sent this message to Chuck Washington via his website. If you feel similarly, please do the same:
Many local residents oppose the current decision that allows campfires in Fed, State and County campgrounds when fire danger is high and we nearly lost our town. 
Please help us get a fire ban throughout our mountain area. Of great concern is the 99 site Idyllwild County Camground since it has such a small staff and sits in a residential area and next to a very large children’s camp. 
It is not cold. Fires are unnecessary. Please help. This is psychologically inconsiderate even if it is deemed technically “safe.”
Thank you,Dawn Papaila

Dawn-

Done. It’s hard to imagine any better rationale for fire restrictions than longterm drought, persistent hot, dry weather, and two disastrous fires in five years in the San Jacinto Mountains. Hopefully our elected representatives and local land managers can see that obvious logic.
