Abandoned campfires on the Coconino and Prescott Forests

Despite efforts to get the public to douse their campfires, abandoned campfires are starting to show up on our national forests. Prescott National Forest patrols found two over the weekend; Coconino National Forest patrols found 11 last week and one over the weekend. Officials say anyone of these campfires could have turned into a fast moving wildfire due to our current drought conditions. If you spot an abandoned campfire, call 911.
