Friends,
 
Over the weekend, the superintendent signed a variance to the ban on woodstove fires above 6,000 feet with the following restrictions:
·         The wood stove is rated for the cabin and has been inspected by the Authority Having Jurisdiction,
·         The cabin is presently occupied (no unattended fires),
·         The cabin occupant has provided defensible space around the cabin, 
·         A fire extinguisher readily available,
·         Low temperatures drop below 50 degrees Farenheit, AND
·         No ashes are disposed of outside while Stage 3 Fire Restrictions remain in effect. 
 
Thanks,
