What's a Level 1 Restriction in the forest?

When I read about the fire restrictions in the newspaper, I wondered: "What do all the fire restriction levels mean?"

Ruidoso can be a confusing place because some of the trees and hillside are on US Forest Service land, some inside the Village, some bordering areas are tribal, and much of the rest is county or state land.  The sites listed below are an effort to clarify what you may (not) do depending on which part of the forest you are in, and how the restrictions compare to other levels (number or issuing agency).

Nice, clear documents listing each level of restriction separately.
