You are welcome to use dead and downed wood for your fire at an authorized location.
Extreme caution is always the rule.
Remember a small fire is best for cooking. The steel fire-ring is the only place a fire may be built at an authorized campsite. Moving a steel fire-ring or building your own rock fireplace at authorized sites is not permitted. When building a fire at a designated fire permit campsite, use caution and common sense in locating your fire. Use existing fireplaces if they are available and safe.
