Fire Breaks Installed In Prescott National Forest

Fire breaks were recently constructed in the area of Spence Basin and Highland Pines by Prescott National Forest fire crews and may resemble new trail construction. These fire breaks, or handline, were constructed to serve as a crucial component of prescribed fire implementation and are used as control features on prescribed fires. These fire breaks are not authorized trails, and ALL visitors are asked to please remain on existing, system trails. Forest officials are currently working to ensure fire breaks and
trails in the area are effectively signed. With recent monsoon rains, trails will be wet for a little while even when dryer weather returns. Please consider the damage you could cause to trails when planning your visits after heavy precipitation.
