Fire restrictions went into effect this week on the Tonto National Forest due to drought conditions, hot temperatures and increased fire danger. Most types of fire or fire-causing activities are prohibited.
Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or charcoal-burning device is prohibited.
Restrictions also apply to smoking outside of a cleared area, operating internal combustion power tools, using welding equipment or torches with open flames, operating combustion engines without spark-arresting devices, or discharging firearms except in accordance with Arizona hunting laws.
However, the use of petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns, and heating devices are allowed, and some developed campgrounds are also exempted from the restrictions.
Also remember that all fireworks are prohibited on the Tonto National Forest at all times.
