Fire restrictions aimed at reducing potential for wildfires remain in place. Ashley National Forest provided the reminder on Monday. “With the lack of our typical monsoon rains this year and the lack of rain in the near term forecast, the Forest is dry and the potential for fires will continue to increase in the near term driving the need to restrict campfires”, shares Ashley National Forest Fire Management Officer Joseph Flores. The fire restrictions referred to are from the order that began on August 11th.
