9/10/15 – Several areas on the forest may be producing smoke from small and smoldering fires in and around the Apache-Sitgreaves Forest. Also BIA – Fort Apache Agency is managing a small fire called the Playground Fire that may also be producing smoke. Fire management personnel are monitoring these areas. While several fires may be caused by lightning you can never be too safe. We would like to remind you to please make sure that your campfires are completely out. Remember if it is too hot to touch it is too hot to leave!
