Two wildfires affected the Valley this weekend cutting off highway access to the High Country from Phoenix for most of Saturday.
TONTO BASIN, Ariz. — An emergency closure order has been issued for parts of the Tonto National Forest, according to officials.
"The purpose of this order is to provide public health and safety due to firefighting operations and fire danger," the post said. Forest Service Roads 22, 524, 491, 143 and MT-524, near the boundary area are closed. State Route 87 makes up the closure's western boundary and extends almost to State Route 188. Its southern boundary parallels, but doesn't always touch, the northern edge of the Four Peaks Wilderness and its northenr boundary is a line made up of FR-22 to FR 524.
An emergency supply kit should be put together long before a wildfire or another disaster occurs. Make sure to keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate.
