Campfires now OK in central Arizona forest

Posted: Updated:
PHOENIX (AP) -

The last of Arizona's national forests to still have fire restrictions in place now is lifting them.

All campfire and smoking restrictions will be rescinded Wednesday on the Tonto National Forest.

Officials say they no longer are needed because of the increased moisture and humidity that has reduced the danger of wildfires.

The restrictions had been in place since May 15.
