I am guessing there would be restriction on fires, sometimes, if there are risks of starting a forest fire.

  This is one of the reasons that you should call the local ranger station. The baseline rule is that campfires are allowed -- but (especially in the last few years) it's not unusual for fires to be restricted during the dry months. Always call to be certain that you are aware of special restrictions like this.

    I think in 20 years of hiking, I've managed to reach a ranger station by phone maybe... twice...? despite trying many times. It's really unfortunate that most stations aren't staffed for hours optimal for recreationists (as in weekends and holidays, especially, but also mornings/evenings). They're not exactly easy to get ahold of :( That's not the rangers' faults; supporting public recreation is but a small part of their job duties. It's just how the government operates them. They're mixed-use government agencies, not necessarily (or at least not only) tourist information centers. But it does make them often hard to reach. They are super helpful when you do manage to get a person on the line though.
