    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (August 30, 2018) – A homeowner in the Les Springs sub-division awoke early this morning to the sound of a smoke detector. Upon investigation, the homeowner discovered that the recreational vehicle in the garage was on fire. Thinking quickly, he was able to pull the RV out of the garage. When firefighters from the Sedona Fire District arrived they were able to extinguish the fire and remove smoke from the structure.

    “The smoke alarms did their job,” said Fire Marshal Jon Davis, “They alerted the occupants of the building before the fire could even activate the homes fire sprinkler system. Due to the early warning provided by the smoke alarms, the homes occupants are safe and damage to the structure and RV were minimal.”

    This fire stands in stark contrast to the fire earlier this week in Chicago where 10 children died in an apartment with no working smoke alarms. “We have spread the message that ‘Smoke Detectors Save Lives’ for decades,” said Davis, “For the cost of a fast food meal, you can purchase a smoke alarm and reduce the odds that you or family members will die in a fire by more than half. Unfortunately we still see far too many fire deaths because smoke alarms are not present or they fail because a battery has been removed.”

    The cause of the fire in the RV was traced to the refrigeration unit. The fire did not spread to the structure. Damage to the RV was estimated at $4000 dollars.

    No injuries were reported.

    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.
