This posted notice bans open campfires within the Superior National Forest, a 3-million-acre expanse managed by the U.S. Forest Service in northeastern Minnesota near Isabella. Fire restrictions like this one are typically issued during periods of drought, when dry brush and low humidity raise the risk of wildfire spread. The Superior National Forest includes the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where campfire regulations are especially strict due to limited access for firefighting crews.
