A scheduled job hits the USFS active alerts endpoint, filters for fire restriction alerts, parses the order number and effective date, and writes one JSON row per national forest unit. The row includes the current stage, the rule summary, and the URL to the canonical order PDF for the cache refresh to use.

Some orders apply to one ranger district within a forest. Carry a districts column that lists the affected districts as an array. The page renders the stage as partial restriction and lists the districts where the rule applies. The full forest stage stays no restriction in the main badge.

Yes. Carry an order_url column that points to the canonical USFS order. The page renders the link as a primary citation in the hero, so the camper can click through to the legal document. The summary on the page is for fast reading; the order PDF carries the authoritative language.

Carry a stove_rule column that holds the exception text per row. Stage 1 typically allows all stoves. Stage 2 typically allows stoves with shut-off valves. Stage 3 typically prohibits all open flame. The exception text comes from the order language and varies by region.

Yes through a side block. A second data source pulls the next-7-day fire weather from a regional NOAA feed and the base page renders a small forecast grid next to the rule. The rule and the forecast live in separate cache cycles so the rule is never delayed by a forecast hiccup.

Yes. Carry a coordinates column on each row and the page group renders a small map showing the forest boundary and the adjacent forest badges. Each adjacent badge is a link to the corresponding URL. Adding a new forest also adds the cross-links automatically through the same mapping.

The page renders a no-restriction state from the same template and shows the lastReviewed date. The badge is green, the message is a short reassurance, and the order_url field points to the standing forest order rather than a specific restriction. The page still ranks for the forest plus campfire query.

State governors sometimes issue statewide fire bans that overlap with national forests. Carry a state_overlay column with the date and the URL of the governor's order. The page renders the overlay as a secondary callout under the federal stage. Both bans apply, the stricter one governs, and the page makes both visible.
