FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — After consultation with state and federal land management partners, areas of Coconino County within the boundaries of the Kaibab and Coconino National Forest have been lifted as Monday, July 20, 2026, at 6 a.m. This decision, according to Coconino County’s Wildfire Defense Ordinance, applies to all private property within, and adjacent to, the boundaries of the Kaibab and Coconino National Forests.

At this time, there are no active fire restrictions in Coconino County. The public is reminded to always be extra cautious when recreating on public lands, regardless of restrictions.

Fire restrictions are implemented to help prevent human-caused fires and to limit the exposure of visitors during periods of potentially dangerous fire conditions. Decisions about fire restrictions are a collaborative effort with area land management entities and are based on a combination of carefully measured factors. Criteria used to determine when to implement restrictions include current and predicted weather, fuel moisture, fire activity levels, enduring drought and available firefighting resources.
