I can attest to that. Every time I hiked past a Forest Service sign, it always had the fire danger as 'Extreme'. And campfires along the trail (Pacific Crest Trail) were prohibited. I never did find out if this was going on for years, or was just since the drought. At any rate, in 200 miles of hiking, I never made a single campfire. I was almost afraid to, as dry as everything was.
