Beginning tomorrow, May 21, at 8 a.m. the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado River District and Phoenix District will implement seasonal fire restrictions in central and western Arizona.

Fire managers have reported an increase in wildfire activity, which is anticipated to peak as the weather continues to get hotter and drier in the coming months. Fire restrictions help limit activities on public lands that are common causes of wildfires.

For Stage 2 restrictions on BLM lands in La Paz, Maricopa, Yavapai, Yuma, southern Mohave, northern and western Pinal, western Pima counties in Arizona, as well as portions of Imperial, San Bernadino and Riverside counties in California, these activities are prohibited:

➡️ Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, charcoal, coal, or wood stove fire.

➡️ Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building. Smoking is prohibited in all federal buildings.

➡️ Welding or the use of any torch or metal cutting or grinding implement.

➡️ Discharging a firearm, air rifle or gas gun, except while engaged in a lawful hunt pursuant to state, federal, or tribal law, and regulations. (This restriction also includes the BLM Phoenix District’s developed recreational shooting sites: Baldy Mountain, Box Canyon, Church Camp Road, and Saddleback Mountain.)

➡️ Operating any internal combustion engine, such as a chainsaw or similar tool.

Fire restrictions are already in effect in other parts of Arizona. For detailed explanations concerning agency restrictions and fire information in general, contact the nearest land management agency where you plan to visit: https://ow.ly/h6b050Z2mMp

Coconino NF to enter Stage 1 fire restrictions May 21 at 8 a.m.

Flagstaff, AZ, May 15, 2026 — The Coconino National Forest will enter Stage 1 fire restrictions at 8 a.m., Thursday, May 21, to help prevent unwanted human-caused wildfires during periods of dangerous fire weather conditions.

Fires, campfires, stoves (charcoal, coal and wood) and smudge pots are prohibited under Stage 1 restrictions except within a developed recreation site. Smoking is also prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle, building or official developed recreation site. (https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coconino/recreation/developed-recreation-sites)

Using a device that is fueled solely by pressurized liquid petroleum, propane, or LPG is allowed in areas that are barren or cleared of all overhead and surrounding flammable materials located within 3 feet of the device. The device must be able to be turned on or off.

Decisions about when and where to implement fire restrictions are made based on a combination of carefully measured factors. Criteria used to decide when to implement restrictions include current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels, enduring drought and available firefighting resources.

Additional restrictions could be forthcoming if conditions warrant. Fire restrictions typically remain in effect until the area receives significant, widespread precipitation.
Violations could result in a mandatory federal court appearance, fines, or jail time.

National forest fire restrictions can vary from forest to forest, and can differ from local, county and state fire restrictions. Recreators are responsible for knowing the jurisdiction of the land they are recreating on and abiding by restrictions, as well as other rules and regulations.
