Beginning at 8:00 am on Tuesday, July 17, the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest will rescind campfire and smoking restrictions. Recent monsoonal weather has created wetter conditions and reduced fire severity across the forest. Restrictions on the Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts were lifted over the weekend, which means that all fire restrictions across the Kaibab National Forest are rescinded as of tomorrow.
