Reminder there is still a fire restriction in effect for Flagstaff County. This weeks weather provides the perfect conditions for out of control grass/wild land fires to start. Please ensure your within compliance of the restrictions

Effective Monday May 11 at 6:00 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.

The following are PERMITTED during this Fire Restriction:

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.

Thank you,
Derek Homme
