Am I in a fire ban or under fire restrictions?
-All areas of Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District are in the fire ban
What is allowed in a fire ban?
-Only devices that are liquid fueled or gas fueled are allowed. Simply put, gas grills, gas fire pits, gas stoves, and gas lanterns are allowed. The rule of thumb is whether or not the fire can be “turned off,” rather than “put out.”

-Anything which produces an open flame which is not liquid fueled or gas fueled. This includes charcoal grills, Tiki torches, fire pits, and chimineas’. This includes private residences.
-The use of any fireworks.
-Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, or while stopped in an area of at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all combustible material.
-Using any fire to burn trash, debris, fence rows or vegetation, or any campfire.
-There are restrictions regarding operating a chain saw, operating an acetylene or other torch, welding, or the use of an explosive initiation system. See the attached for guidelines.
NOTE: The Sheriff’s Office will strictly enforce a zero tolerance policy on all fireworks violations in the fire ban area.
