And over on the Mogollon Rim, firefighters are beginning suppression efforts on the Horse Fire, a lightning-caused fire that started June 9. Please stay updated on restrictions, and if you are planning outdoor activities, double-check that they are allowed to keep everyone and our forests safe.Looking ahead, if you are gearing up for the Fourth of July, mark your calendar for the mandatory pre-parade meeting today at 11:30 a.m. at the American Legion on West Birch Avenue.
