The Tonto National Forest in coordination with federal, state, and local partners will terminate the current Stage 1 Fire Restrictions effective July 21, 2021 at 8 a.m. due to reduced fire danger.

The restrictions were implemented to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires during periods of high fire danger and elevated fire weather conditions.

Coconino National Forest firefighters are planning to take advantage of future favorable weather conditions and have tentatively planned large fire treatments on the Flagstaff Ranger District and Mogollon Rim Ranger District that will include thousands of acres and span several weeks.

If weather conditions permit, these treatments could begin as early as the middle of next week and continue into May.
