FLAGSTAFF — Coconino County will reinstate Stage One fire restrictions on private lands in the unincorporated areas of the County in coordination with similar actions by the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests and other agencies in the area. Fire restrictions are effective Friday, August 14 at 8:00 AM.
The reinstatement comes after an extended period without significant rainfall and in consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local Fire District officials, as well as the National Weather Service (NWS). This action will reduce the threat of fire in the area as dry conditions are expected to continue. 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.
