The Kaibab, Coconino and Apache-Sitgreaves national forests will lift all fire restrictions Friday at 6 a.m.
Officials say recent heavy monsoon rain has improved wildfire conditions but they acknowledge overall fire danger remains high. Bill Williams Mountain on the Kaibab will also reopen.
Area closures will, however, remain in effect in Sycamore Canyon because of the Rafael Fire as well as near the Slate, Backbone and Mangum fires.
In addition, Coconino County and City of Flagstaff officials have announced they’ll rescind all fire bans Friday morning.
Grand Canyon National Park will also lift a stage 2 fire restrictions but will leave a stage 1 ban in place limiting campfires to maintained campgrounds.
