    Sedona Fire DistrictSedona AZ (June 3, 2020) – After consulting with local County Emergency Managers and District Rangers, it has been determined that effective Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Sedona Fire District (SFD) is moving into Stage II Fire Restrictions.

    These restrictions prohibit all open fires, fire pits and campfires.  During the period of fire restrictions, no burn permits will be issued and existing burn permits are hereby suspended. Fireworks and other pyrotechnic displays are prohibited, unless permitted by the Fire Marshal.

    These restrictions also prohibit the outdoor use of equipment that generates sparks or open flames.  This restricts the outdoor use of welding equipment, grinders and chain saws.  Commercial operators may apply for a hot work permit through the Fire Marshal’s Office.

    Cooking on propane grills and the use of UL listed, natural gas or propane flame producing heating/warming appliances is still allowed provided that the appliance is located at least 10 feet from combustible materials. Cooking devices that do not generate sparks or open flames are allowed only at private residences so long as they are covered with a tight fitting and lid clear of all surrounding flammable materials.

    PROHIBITED:
