Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Rescinds Fire Restrictions

The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests will rescind all fire restrictions on Friday, June 24th at 6:00am.

Increased amounts of rain in recent weeks and cooler temperatures have combined to reduce the fire risk.  Although reduced, wildfire risk remains. Avoid using campfires if conditions are dry, hot, or a safe location is not available. If you decide to have a campfire, be sure to drown, stir, and feel the ash to be sure all heat is gone. It is illegal to leave a campfire unattended or use fireworks on National Forest land.

More information about fire restrictions can be found on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Fire Management webpage www.fs.usda.gov/detail/asnf/fire/?cid=fseprd538403. Statewide fire restriction information can be found on the Arizona Interagency Wildfire Prevention resources webpage https://wildlandfire.az.gov/wildfire-resources.
