Coconino County lifts fire restrictions in coordination with other agencies
Coconino County has lifted all fire restrictions on private lands in the unincorporated areas of the County in coordination with similar actions by Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest, as well as other agencies in the area.
The lifting of the fire restrictions is effective November 10 at 8:00 AM. The County action to lift fire restrictions ends the County’s campfire ban and Stage 1 fire restrictions enacted earlier in the year.
The end of the fire restrictions comes with cooler temperatures, improved relative humidity and recent snowfall that have helped to retard fire potential in the forests.
