Stage 1 fire restrictions took effect in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests on Friday, February 28 due to extremely dry winter conditions. The wildfire danger has increased, notably in the White Mountains, as precipitation and snowpack were at record lows. Under stage 1 restrictions, campfires and charcoal and wood stoves were only allowed in developed forest recreation sites and smoking was only allowed inside vehicles or buildings.
