In many areas, particularly in the Southwest, it had been a particularly dry winter.
As this is the case, the Forest Service and the National Park Service are implementing fire restrictions in Kaibab National Forest and Grand Canyon National Park. These restrictions start June 8.
According to the Grand Canyon News:
FREDONIA, Ariz. — The U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service will implement additional fire restrictions, also known as Stage II fire restrictions, across the North Kaibab Ranger District, and the South Rim, North Rim and Inner Canyon of Grand Canyon National Park beginning at 8 a.m. this Friday. Visitors should be mindful that these new fire restrictions will limit certain activities and will remain in effect until rescinded, which typically occurs after significant and widespread moisture arrives and fire danger levels subside.
As a reminder, the Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts are already in Stage II fire restrictions and will also remain in effect until lifted.
