PUBLIC NOTICE

 BURN BAN IN EFFECT AS OF MAY 21, 2026

PDF Copy

Fire restrictions are being implemented by order of the Fire Marshal inside Golden Valley Fire District starting May 21, 2026

In addition, Mohave County Board of Supervisors has issued a Proclamation prohibiting open fires and permissible consumer fireworks throughout Mohave County.

The restrictions have become necessary due to increased fire danger and are being implemented to prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public health and safety.  Contributing factors are weather conditions – high temperatures, low humidity, and high wind; as well as the conditions of desert landscapes district-wide including dry brush and grasses.

The restrictions are as follows:

Building, maintaining, or using a fire/campfire is prohibited.

As per Mohave County declaration all permissible consumer fireworks are prohibited.

(UL Approved Petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns, or heating devices are exempt from these restrictions.)

All Burn Permits are Canceled and No Burn Permits Will be Issued. Warming/Campfires are Not Allowed During the Fire Restriction.   

Fire Marshal David Martin

Golden Valley Fire District

 Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-431.02, notice is hereby given to the members of the Golden Valley Fire District and to the general public.
