ORDINANCE NO. 01-19

OUTDOOR FIRE ORDINANCE

Amended on 3/11/2025

An ordinance of the Board of Supervisors of Navajo County, Arizona, amending Ordinance No. 01-19 (Outdoor Fire Ordinance); establishing restrictions on certain outdoor fires; providing for the implementation of emergency fire restrictions; and specifying civil and criminal penalties for violations.

Preface

The purpose of fire restrictions is to reduce the risk of human-caused fires during periods of unusually high fire danger and/or burning conditions. Fire restrictions impose many limitations on the public and therefore should be implemented only after all other prevention measures have been taken. These measures include, but are not limited to increasing the number of prevention signs, public contacts, media campaigns, increased enforcement of restrictions, etc. Fire restrictions should be considered when high to extreme fire danger is predicted to persist. Other considerations are the level of human-caused fire occurrences being experienced, firefighting resources available, high human-caused risk potential, live fuel moisture is at or approaching historic thresholds, no significant relief in fire weather potential in the immediate forecast, large fire activity occurring on a unit (within the county) or within the Region, and fire preparedness levels so indicate. An appropriate level of preparedness to meet wildland fire management objectives is based upon an assessment of vegetation, climate, and topography utilizing the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS).

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF NAVAJO COUNTY AS FOLLOWS:

TITLE

This ordinance shall be known as the Navajo County Outdoor Fire Ordinance.

EFFECTIVE AREA

This Ordinance is effective in the unincorporated area of Navajo County, exclusive of areas under the jurisdiction of the United States, the State of Arizona or a federally recognized Indian tribe.

PURPOSE / AUTHORITY OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR

3.1

The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide a uniform system for political subdivisions in Navajo County to determine what fire restrictions are needed and when they are to be put into place during emergency fire conditions.

3.2 It is the duty of the Navajo County Emergency Management Director/Manager (after consultation, as the Director deems appropriate, with the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”), local Fire Districts/Fire Departments, state or municipal Emergency Management Directors or other fire officials) to initiate fire restrictions during emergency fire conditions as described in Section 6.

3.2.1 The Emergency Management Director/Manager shall utilize the National Fire-Danger Rating System (NFDRS) and Fire Preparedness level indicators (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/inyo/home/?cid=stelprdb5173311) to help determine when such restrictions are necessary. As a general guideline, emergency fire restrictions should be considered when the Energy Release Components (ERCs) reading reaches 90% for at least 5 consecutive days.

3.2.2 The Emergency Management Director/Manager shall attempt to coordinate with other fire officials in the region, a uniform date for implementing such restrictions.

3.2.3 When the Emergency Management Director/Manager determines that such restrictions are necessary, and the date of implementation has been determined, the Director/Manager shall recommend to the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors that such restrictions be ordered pursuant to the Chairman’s emergency powers under Title 26, Chapter 2, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Upon the issuance of the Chairman’s order, the Navajo County Emergency Management Director/Manager shall promptly take appropriate steps to notify residents and visitors of the nature and extent of the restrictions and the effective date.

3.2.4 Upon issuance of the initial order the County shall suspend issuance of burning permits until the emergency fire restriction order is lifted.

3.2.5 Upon issuance of the initial order, the Chairman authorizes the Emergency Management Director/Manager to modify the restriction level or cancel the restrictions as conditions warrant per National Fire-Danger Rating System (NFDRS) and Preparedness Levels indicators to determine the cancellation of restrictions. The Emergency Management Director/Manager shall immediately notify the Chairman and the County Manager of any changes in restriction and provide an update of the change at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.

EMERGENCY FIRE RESTRICTIONS

Navajo County County uses fire restrictions to help prevent unwanted, human-caused fires and to limit the exposure of residents and visitors during periods of potentially dangerous fire

conditions.

Implementation of fire restrictions occurs based on a combination of factors that are carefully measured. Criteria used to determine when to implement restrictions includes things such as current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels, and available firefighting resources.

In addition to the non-emergency fire restrictions set forth in Section5, the following emergency fire restrictions when ordered and in effect shall apply.:

6.1 During “Red Flag Warning” conditions, as posted by the National Weather Service, no open outdoor fires, campfires, charcoal fires, agricultural burning or outdoor smoking are permitted on either public or private property within the unincorporated area of Navajo County.

6.2 When it has been determined by the Emergency Management Director/Manager that additional emergency fire restrictions are needed to assure the safety of the public, the Director/Manager shall recommend that the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors order additional emergency restrictions at the appropriate restriction stage level.

6.3 When it has been determined by the Emergency Management Director/Manager that additional emergency fire restrictions are needed to assure the safety of the public in unincorporated areas of Navajo County, the issuance of burning permits shall be suspended until the emergency fire restrictions are lifted.

6.3.1 Open Burn Permits issued prior to the emergency fire restrictions declaration shall be suspended until all fire restrictions have been lifted.
