Gila National Forest lifts Stage II fire restrictions
The last few months could be summed up by a popular folk song: Fire and Rain. And both elements were record-setting in their own ways.The former brought the two largest wildfires in the state’s history – destroying hundreds of homes and shuttering forests. The latter settled in last week in “unprecedented” fashion and spurred officials to reopen forests in time for wildflowers, stargazing and mushroom hunting.
