Beginning at 8 a.m., today, Thursday, May 26, 2022 Stage 2 Fire, Smoking and Recreational Shooting Restrictions took effect on the entire Prescott National Forest.  Stage 2 Fire Restrictions extend fire and smoking restrictions to include developed recreation sites.

Fire officials use several criteria to determine when to modify fire restrictions including current and predicted weather, fuel moistures, fire activity, and available firefighting resources. These restrictions reduce the risk of unwanted human-caused wildfires during periods of high fire danger and elevated fire weather conditions.  Fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices are ALWAYS prohibited on National Forests. 

Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. §261.50(e), the following persons are exempt from the provisions in this Order:
