Fire Restrictions

The Kaibab National Forest uses fire restrictions to help prevent unwanted, human-caused fires and to limit the exposure of visitors during periods of potentially dangerous fire conditions. Implementation of fire restrictions occurs based on a combination of factors that are carefully measured. Criteria used to determine when to implement restrictions includes things such as current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels and available firefighting resources. There are different stages of fire restrictions on the Kaibab, which are explained in-depth below. Do your part in preventing wildfires and please abide by all posted fire restrictions at all times while visiting the Forest.

Fireworks and other incendiary devices (to include exploding targets) are NEVER allowed on any national forest lands at any time!
