Tonto National Forest has increased fire restrictions 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 taking game in accordance with Arizona hunting laws.
Use of petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns and heating devices is allowed, and some developed campgrounds are exempt from the restrictions.
