SAFFORD — Extremely dry conditions combined with dry thunderstorms moving into the area could make for dangerous conditions on Mount Graham.
The U.S. Forest Service is advising visitors to Mount Graham to pack extra supplies in the event the road up and down the mountain becomes closed due to wildfire, and an overnight stay becomes necessary. Extra food, water, medications, flashlights and batteries should also brought with during any visit, as well as layered clothing and warm bedding.
The Coronado National Forest is currently under Stage 2 Fire Restrictions, and dry lightning strikes or a spark landing on dry grass, twigs or pine needles will likely ignite into a wildfire.
