The Gila National Forest is still seeing fires being left unattended and is asking all campers and those hiking through the area to please be cautious when building and extinguishing campfires. In the last few weeks, patrols have found a large amount of abandoned campfires that were left burning and not completely put out. Forest management is asking that campfires be completely extinguished, meaning they are cold to the touch with your bare hand, before leaving the area.
