For Immediate Release
Fire Danger Ratings Increase
Across Kaibab, Coconino National Forests and Grand Canyon National Park
Williams, AZ – As conditions continue to dry and warm across much of northern Arizona, fire managers on the Kaibab and Coconino
National Forests and Grand Canyon National Park have moved several areas into ‘High’ fire danger. Other areas remain in ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ fire danger due to localized moisture conditions.
“High” fire danger means wildfires can start easily from most causes and that small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite
readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape and spread easily. CNF: Mogollon Rim Ranger District:
Moderate Fire Danger CNF: Flagstaff Ranger District:

Red Rock Ranger District: High Fire Danger KNF: North Kaibab Ranger District:
Low Fire Danger KNF: Tusayan Ranger District:
High Fire Danger KNF: Williams Ranger District:
High Fire Danger GCNP: South Rim
High Fire Danger GCNP: North Rim
Low Fire Danger While there are no restrictions or closures in effect at this time, all forest and park visitors are asked to use caution with
campfires and other ignition sources such as cigarettes. Likewise, communities can reduce the risk of damage from potential wildfire by becoming knowledgeable about and engaged in actions to plan and protect their homes and neighborhoods from wildfires. More
information is available at www.fireadapted.org.
Public land users are also reminded to be aware of red flag warnings or other fire weather conditions that may exist. More information
