The city of Flagstaff and the Coconino National Forest are both rolling back fire restrictions after a week of monsoon rains in northern Arizona.

Both will return to Stage 1 restrictions at 8 a.m. Friday.

Most fires are still prohibited except within developed campgrounds on the forest, while the city will restrict most types of fire on red flag days.
