AZP&Y Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Coconino and Kaibab National Forests Lift Closures, Some Restrictions For Immediate Release Date: July 19, 2007 Contact: Coconino Supervisor's Office 928-527-3600 or Jackie Denk on the Kaibab National Forest at 928-635-8314 WILLIAMS, AZ — Due to recent rains, the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests plan to lift all closures and some fire restrictions at 8 a.m. tomorrow (Friday, July 20). The entire Coconino National Forest is open to public use except for the area directly surrounding the Birdie Fire. As of 8 a.m. tomorrow, all fire restrictions will be lifted. “We have received significant precipitation over the last couple of weeks with more on the way, according to forecasts,” said Bruce Greco, fire staff officer for the Coconino National Forest. “We feel comfortable that the risk of fire starts has been reduced enough to lift all restrictions on the Coconino National Forest.” While the Kaibab National Forest has also received some rain, it has not received as much as the Coconino. Therefore, all closures will be lifted, but campfire and smoking restrictions, known as Stage 1 fire restrictions, will remain in effect forestwide. As of 8 a.m. tomorrow, the North Kaibab Ranger District, which is located north of Grand Canyon National Park, and the Bill Williams Mountain watershed, which is located on the Williams Ranger District just south of the city of Williams, will be reopened to public use. That means activities such as camping, hiking, biking and motorized vehicle use will again be allowed in the areas. All other areas of the Kaibab National Forest will remain open. On all districts of the Kaibab National Forest, campfire and smoking restrictions will remain in effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
