Kaibab National Forest to lift fire restrictions July 24

7/23/2024 - 11:09 am

The Kaibab National Forest will lift all fire restrictions at 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Currently, Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in place on the North Kaibab Ranger District (all National Forest System Lands north of the Grand Canyon National Park). The area has received enough widespread rain to increase fuel moisture levels. Cooler temperatures have reduced the risk of severe fire behavior.

The public should always be vigilant while visiting the forest, regardless of restrictions. Leaving your campfire unattended is illegal all year round. Campfires must be dead out – cold to the touch – before you walk away. Fireworks and explosives are ALWAYS prohibited on National Forest lands.
