Effective Thursday April 11 at 1:00 p.m., Flagstaff Regional Emergency Services is implementing a FIRE RESTRICTION for all Municipalities in Flagstaff County.
This Fire Restriction includes:
· All existing FIRE PERMITS are SUSPENDED and prohibits the issuance of any new permits. All existing open burns must be extinguished.
· Prohibits the discharge of FIREWORKS.
The following are PERMITTED during this Fire Restriction:

– safe wood campfires in approved fire pits on private lands and in campgrounds.
– portable propane fire pits.
– gas or propane stoves and barbeques, including briquettes.

Off-Highway Vehicles can start wildfires – check frequently to ensure hotspots are free of debris, and make sure mufflers and spark arrestors are working properly.
Never leave a campfire unattended. Soak it, stir it and soak it again until cool to the touch to ensure it is extinguished.
This Fire Restriction will remain in effect until further notice.
