Effective Thursday, Aug. 22, the Bureau of Land Management will lift all seasonal fire restrictions for public lands administered by the Phoenix District Office, including BLM lands in Maricopa, northern Pinal, western Pima, and Yavapai counties. Due to increased precipitation across the area, additional rain in the weather forecast, and a rise in fuel moistures, it has been determined that the likelihood of wildfire has lessened to the degree that the restrictions can be rescinded.
