  6. Outside of designated sites, no fires. Developed recreation areas and designated fire safe areas are examples of designated places. Please see the list of approved areas that can be used without charge at the forest offices. No smoking, except it's in a closed car, a structure, a developed recreation area, or a place that has been recognized as a fire safe area. Internal combustion engine use is prohibited everywhere but on designated National Forest System roads and trails, below the high waterline on Shasta Lake, Trinity Lake, and Iron Canyon Reservoir.
