After consultation with partner agencies in the region, Coconino County Emergency Management (CCEM) and the County Manager’s Office will be downgrading the County’s fire restrictions to Stage 1 on Friday June 28, 2024 at 8 a.m.
During Stage 1 fire restrictions the following activities are prohibited at all times, unless exempted by the County’s Wildfire Defense Ordinance:
- Igniting, building, maintaining, or using a fire, including fires fueled by combustible materials such as wood, charcoal, briquettes, and/or coal.
- Smoking outdoors.
- Use of explosive targets, tracer rounds, or incendiary ammunition.
Stage 1 exemptions include fires fueled by combustible materials, such as wood, wood pellet smokers, charcoal, briquettes, and/or coal in a Developed Site, as defined by the Wildfire Defense Ordinance.
As we approach the Independence Day holiday, the public is reminded to always be extra cautious when recreating on public or private lands, regardless of restrictions. Violations could result in fines and/or jail time.
