As we are all aware, the Tonto National Forest went into stage 2 fire restrictions this morning, this means that wildfire season is upon us, and we would like to remind everyone to please be careful out in our beautiful desert and forest.
This year APS and SRP have updated their Public Safety Power Shutoff programs, and you can review these programs through your service provider’s website or online account, we have also put the links here.
APS Public Safety Power Shutoff Program:

SRP Public Safety Power Shutoff Program:

One thing that we would like to make you all aware of is each company can also assist you if you are on a medical device that requires power and during a power outage this could help relieve some pressure on us.

SRP Medical link: https://www.srpnet.com/…/residenti…/medical-preparedness
You must register for this program through your service provider, and we highly encourage you to do so, because if power is cut off due to and emergency or it is connected to the public safety power shutoff, it could be several hours before power is restored.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your service provider or we are always happy to assist you at (520) 479-2203 or by email us at info@tontobasinfire.org
