TONTO FIRE RESTRICTIONS BEGIN MAY 14th

Drought conditions, hot temperatures and increased fire danger have resulted in fire restrictions for the Tonto National Forest beginning Thursday, May 14 at 8 a.m.  The forest will prohibit most types of fire or fire-causing activities across the entire Tonto National Forest.

Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or charcoal-burning device is prohibited. Restrictions also apply to smoking outside of a cleared area, operating internal combustion power tools, using welding equipment or torches with open flames, operating combustion engines without spark- arresting devices in effective working order, or discharging firearms except in taking game in accordance with Arizona hunting laws. Use of petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns, and heating devices are allowed, and some developed campgrounds are also exempted from these restrictions. (Please list below). More information on the USFS web site - Click here

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

REDUCE YOUR FIRE RISKS

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.
