KNAU Arizona Public Radio continues to integrate new audio software into both our news and classical services, resulting in some glitches. Thank you for your support and patience through this upgrade.

KNAU 88.7 is restored to full power. APS cut power to our system atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's electricity meter and restored it early Monday morning.

BLM to lift fire restrictions in Arizona

The Bureau of Land Management will lift all seasonal fire restrictions for several areas in Arizona.

On Friday morning, fire bans will end on the Phoenix and Colorado River districts which include Kingman, Lake Havasu and Yuma, along with Hassayampa and Lower Sonoran filed offices.

Increased precipitation throughout the region has decreased wildfire danger.

Still, officials urge visitors on public lands to use metal fire rings, avoid starting fires under overhanging flammable material and fully extinguish them before leaving.

Fireworks and exploding targets are always prohibited on state-trust and federally managed lands.

Fire restrictions have been lifted on many federal, state, county and municipal lands in Arizona with the onset of monsoon season.
