Fire Restrictions Remain in Effect on Kaibab National Forest
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Fire restrictions remain in effect on the Williams and Tusayan ranger districts of the Kaibab National Forest. Under these restrictions, fires, campfires, charcoal, coal or wood stoves are allowed in developed campgrounds only. The restrictions also limit smoking to within enclosed vehicles, buildings or in developed campgrounds. Pressurized liquid or gas stoves, lanterns, and heaters that can be turned off are allowed. Fireworks are always prohibited on National Forest land.
During daily patrols, forest personnel have discovered a number of abandoned campfires; this is in violation of the forest order. Violation of the prohibitions is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, imprisonment for not more than six months, or both. Visitors are urged to maintain vigilance against the spread of fire.
The fire restrictions will stay in place until the forest receives significant precipitation. For additional information on fire restrictions on the Kaibab National Forest, call Punky Moore, Fire Information Officer, (928) 635-5653 or 928-635-8311.
