TONTO NATIONAL FOREST LIFTS FIRE RESTRICTIONS

All campfire and smoking restrictions affecting the Tonto National Forest will be lifted, effective Wednesday, July 9, 8 a.m.
The fire restrictions, which covered the entire forest, are no longer needed because fire danger has been reduced by increased moisture and humidity from the annual monsoon season. These wetter conditions prompted officials to lift forest fire restrictions.

The summer wildland fire season is here. With the current Monsoon weather conditions the fire hazards in our area are not as high as in other areas.

There will be crews from our Fire Department working with the Forest Service on fire assignments in and out of Arizona.

This program is to assist property owners in finding the fire risk and forest health issues on their properties.

Free of charge - trained and certified personnel from our Fuels Management Program will provide an assessment and detail the risks related to fire on your property. We will discuss these risks and provide options for eliminating them through our government grant program.

Your first step - Call st. 41 admin. and let us know you want your property assessed.  We will get you on the list.  When time slots in your area are available we will call to let you know when we will be there.  If you are not home at the time, we will go ahead and do the assessment.  A written form will be sent to you regarding your assessment findings.  You can follow up with a phone call to discuss options for eliminating your fire risks. 

This program is very beneficial to the property owner and the community.  Help us to continue to keep our community aware of fire danger, and create a strong Firewise community.

USE THE FREE HAZARD ASSESSMENT PROGRAM BY CALLING YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT NOW.

We now have updated Medical Information
Emergency Responders Cards in our Pine Station to
replace the old Vials for life information. Please stop
by and pickup your free card to help us access your emergency information. Please POST this on your refrigerator for immediate access in the event of an emergency.

We offer a FREE service for Brush Pickup. This is for Residential NOT Commercial use.

Please stack your tree and brush trimmings at the edge of the road where our Bobcat can get to them.  Leaves, pinecones and loose items will need to be in bags, while solid pine needles can be piled for the bobcat.
We will utilize a rotating 8 Zone system with pickups scheduled for Monday through Wednesday.                       A Community worksheet still needs to
be filled out by each property owner using this
service. Otherwise, we will not receive the monies
needed to continue this FREE service. Click for the form.
