Fire restrictions took effect in most national forests in Arizona on May 5 as the fire danger was heightened by dry conditions and parched fuels. The Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Kaibab, Prescott and Tonto forests enacted restrictions that bar campfires and use of stoves fueled by charcoal, coal or wood except within a developed recreation site. Smoking is not allowed except in a vehicle, inside a building or within a developed recreation site.
