Pinal County is issuing open burning permits again in portions of the county, according to officials.
A ban went into effect in April to reduce the risk of wildfire. Recent rainfall and high humidity levels have reduced fire risks in many areas.
Bans still exist in Apache Junction, Oracle and Queen Valley fire districts.
Some parts of northern Pinal County, including Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon and the Johnson Ranch area are not allowed to burn until after Oct. 1, based on state air quality restrictions.
For more information call the Pinal County Air Quality Division at 520-866-6929.
