BEND, OR -- Campfire restrictions go into effect June first, for portions of the Crooked, Deschutes, John Day and White Rivers, as well as on BLM-managed lands along Lake Billy Chinook and Lake Simtustus.

Officials say limited access and tall, dry grass make it easy for wildfire to spread quickly in these areas.

Lanterns and metal camp stoves fueled with bottled propane or liquid fuel are still allowed. Closures are in effect until October 15.
