Coconino County will move to Stage One fire restrictions in the unincorporated areas of the County, including on private lands, in coordination with similar actions by the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests and other agencies in the area. Fire restrictions are effective Friday, May 14 at 8:00 a.m.
The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts breezy and dry conditions, necessitating the restrictions, and the decision was made in consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local Fire District officials to reduce the threat of wildfire. Stage One fire restrictions include a ban on fires including campfires, charcoal, coal and wood stoves, as well as a ban on fireworks.
The health and safety of residents remains the top priority for Coconino County. Individuals should take seriously the threat of fire and abide by fire restrictions to keep themselves and the community safe. All County residents are advised to sign up for Emergency Notifications at coconino.az.gov/emergencymanagement
