PHOENIX — Campfires will be restricted to developed campgrounds in the Apache-Sitgreaves Forest beginning Thursday.
Wood stoves, pressurized liquid gas stoves, lanterns and heaters that can be turned off are also permitted in developed campgrounds.
A developed campground does not include campfire rings built inside the forest.
Other forests may soon put similar restrictions in place.
