On the Prescott National Forest, shooting firearms, air rifles and gas guns is also banned.
In addition, most fires are now prohibited in Grand Canyon National Park and on nearly all state trust lands in northern and central Arizona.
The City of Flagstaff also put restrictions in place that ban fire pits and the use of charcoal grills even on private property.
