Due to warmer weather conditions, increased fire danger, and for public safety, Coconino National Forest will implement Stage 2 fire restrictions beginning Friday (June 11) at 8 a.m.
The Forest has been under Stage 1 fire restrictions since May 14, which prohibits campfires across the forest and limits them to developed campsites only. However, warmer and windy weather, as well as key criteria are being met, which merits implementation of increased fire restrictions.
