    logo_sedonafiredistrict2Sedona AZ (February 18, 2019) – A house fire in Sedona on Saturday afternoon, February 16, 2019, has temporarily displaced the family living there. Firefighters arrived to the single family dwelling on Sanborn Drive and found a fire confined to the back bedroom. Crews were able to suppress the fire quickly and with minimal damage to the rest of the structure.

    “The family was not home at the time of the fire,” said Sedona Fire Marshal Jon Davis, “Luckily, the door to the back bedroom had been closed before they left. We teach people that the best thing they can do with a fire is to confine it. Close doors behind you when you leave and keep all doors closed when you are gone.” In this case, the doors inside were closed before the family left and kept the fire damage confined to one small room.

    “While the room where the fire occurred won’t be habitable until after a complete restoration, the family should be able to occupy the rest of the house after some smoke clean-up takes place,” said Davis, “This is the perfect example of why it is so important to keep doors closed when you are sleeping or when leaving the house. Had the interior doors been left open, the entire structure would likely have been a total loss.”

    Fire investigators determined that a damaged electrical cord that had become pinched between the floor and a toy basket was the cause of the fire. Resistive heating can occur when an electrical cord is compressed, which is why it is never a good idea to run electrical cords under carpets or through doors.

    No injuries were reported during the blaze and damage is estimated at $20,000.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
