Tonto National Forest will enter Emergency
Stage 2 Fire Restrictions, Tuesday, June 30

(PHOENIX, June 29, 2026) — With increasing fire danger across Arizona, Tonto National Forest officials will implement Stage 2 Fire Restrictions and Emergency Recreational Shooting Restrictions for the entire Forest beginning Tuesday, June 30 at 8 a.m.

The decision to enter Emergency Stage 2 Fire Restrictions was made in conjunction with other federal and state land management agencies in Arizona and is based on various factors, including fire danger criteria, live fuel moistures, observed fire behavior, control difficulty, resource availability, predicted weather, potential high-risk ignition events, and other factors.

Emergency Stage 2 Fire Restrictions prohibit the following acts when visiting the Tonto:

No fires, campfires, charcoal, coal, and wood stoves
No smoking (except within an enclosed vehicle, building, or developed recreation site)
No possessing, discharging, or using any type of firework or pyrotechnic device. Fireworks are always prohibited on national forests
No operating a chainsaw or any other equipment powered by an internal combustion engine from the hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (except generators with an approved spark arresting device within an enclosed vehicle or building or in an area that is barren or cleared of all overhead and surrounding flammable materials within three feet of the generator)
No welding or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame
No operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting device properly installed, maintained, and in effective working order (this does not include motor vehicles. This is aimed at things such as landscaping tools)
No discharging fi****ms, air rifles, or gas guns (except while engaged in a lawful hunt pursuant to state, federal or tribal laws and regulations)
Fireworks and other incendiary devices (to include exploding targets) are NEVER allowed on any national forest lands at any time.

The public can play a key role in preventing wildfires by making sure their vehicles are properly maintained to reduce the chances of having to pull off the road due to car issues.

Violation of fire restrictions is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment for up to six months.
