Mohave County issued the following announcement on July 23.
The Outdoor Fire and Permissible Consumer Fireworks Prohibition enacted by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on May 10, 2021, remains in effect in the unincorporated areas of the County below 4,000 ft in elevation. Most of the pop.ulation of the unincorporated areas reside below the 4,000 ft level, including areas outside and around the four cities.
Some locations below 4,000 ft in elevation have received significant precipitation, but many areas at these lower elevations have not. Vegetation in those areas remains very dry, and a high threat of wildfire ignitions still exists. Sufficient precipitation has been received in areas about 4,000 ft to mitigate the dry conditions and substantially lower the wildfire threat. The Outdoor Fire and Permissible Consumer Fireworks Prohibition for elevations above 4,000 ft. will therefore be lifted at 8 a.m., July 26, 2021. Wind and vegetation conditions in the Hualapai Mountain Park will be monitored daily to determine whether campfire use in established recreation areas will be allowed in the Park.
