Moisture and humidity played a role in the decision, according to Verde Valley Fire District Chief Jerry Doerkson; controlled burns have been exceptionally difficult to manage. Many of the districts are following the lead of the U.S. Forest Service. The Coconino National Forest lifted its ban Wednesday morning, according to spokesman Steve Harper. The Prescott National Forest did the same, along with the Camp Verde Fire District. “It’s good to go,” CVFD Spokesperson Barbara Rice said. Rice added that typical restrictions against burning trash are still in effect. |
Regional fire districts and government agencies have lifted a fire ban that has been in effect for several weeks, but restrictions on burning still remain in unincorporated areas of Yavapai County.Recent Articles by Mark Lineberger :
