Fire Restrictions in Tucson

July 2, 2007 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events

It’s barbeque time in the Old Pueblo! Heading into the Coronado National Forest for a cool afternoon with a fire-cooked meal is a popular pastime. However, the Coronado National Forest has implemented fire restrictions, effective June 30, 2007. Open fires, and charcoal grills are prohibited except within developed recreation sites, and smoking is prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle, building, developed recreation site, or while stationary in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.

You can read the news release here, and see red flag warnings or fire weather watches from the the National Weather Service Forecast office.
