Tonto National Forest fire officials are planning to burn the community green waste pit in Gisela, Tuesday, March 7, 2023.
Fire specialists will be burning a pit containing brush, branches, and grass materials. Property owners who gather this dry fuel from around their homes and property can take it to the community green waste pit to have it burned. Removing this material creates defensible space around structures which increases the likelihood that a home will survive a wildfire.
