Prescott National Forest Lowers Fire Danger

All the rain Yavapai County has gotten over the past week has helped reduce the chance for a wildfire in the Prescott National Forest. The current fire danger in the national forest is moderate. There are no fire restrictions in the forest, but National Forest officials urge everyone to exercise caution. Make sure all campfires are completely extinguished and cool to the touch before leaving them. Also, make sure there are no chains dragging from your vehicle as they can throw sparks and start a wildfire, and do not throw cigarettes out your vehicle window.
