No burn ban is reported, but you still have to follow state and local outdoor-burning rules (permits, burn hours, what may be burned), stay with the fire and keep water nearby. Cities and fire districts can ban burning on their own.

Who issues burn bans in Arizona?

Arizona has no statewide list of county restrictions: we show national forest and tribal fire restrictions, which cover much of the state's wildland. State trust land restrictions come from the Department of Forestry and Fire Management, and counties, cities and fire districts set their own burning rules, so check locally.

Where does this information come from?

From Southwest Coordination Group (firerestrictions.us)'s official county burn-ban map, refreshed every hour on Burn Ban Today, plus Red Flag Warnings from the National Weather Service. Confirm with the Santa Cruz County offices or your local fire department before burning.
