If you don't know what the restrictions are use your discretion. If you think it's to dry, windy, hot for a fire, don't light one even if there isn't a fire ban. One must use their common sense and pay attention to fire safety and conditions where your at. Just because the radio may say there is no fire ban doesn't mean you should light one up if the conditions where you're at are prime for wildfire should a spark get away.
Really we shouldn't have to have fire bans if people used common sense. Relying on a radio/tv/internet/phone from 2 or 20 or 200 miles away to tell us if it is or isn't safe to have a fire where you or I am camped instead of using our common sense is asking for trouble.
