We've made a couple of videos about this. If you need to initiate an emergency response, please call 911. Don't call the station house, don't call your neighbor (first), don't call your friends (first), the best way to initiate an emergency response is to call 911.

Fire restrictions are being lifted tomorrow morning. We're grateful to have made it to the rainy season without any serious fires.

Following significant monsoon moisture and a reduced risk of wildfire, Yavapai County will lift its county-wide fire ban effective Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. The ban is being lifted for all Yavapai County's fire zones (1-5), which include the following cities and towns: Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, Mayer, Cordes Junction, Black Canyon City, Congress, North Wickenburg, Peeples Valley, Yarnell, Wilhoit, Cottonwood, Sedona, Camp Verde, and all unincorporated areas.

This decision was made in coordination with our regional partners, including the Prescott National Forest, Coconino National Forest, Tonto National Forest, and the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM), who have also lifted fire restrictions. Recent rainfall throughout the county has increased humidity and moisture content in vegetation, leading fire officials to agree that conditions are appropriate to lift the current restrictions.

“This decision reflects the impact of recent weather patterns and the ongoing assessment of fire restrictions across Yavapai County. The lifting of fire restrictions is welcome news for our communities, but it does not signal the end of wildfire season. We encourage everyone to continue practicing fire safety, stay aware of current conditions, and do their part to help prevent human-caused wildfires,” said Ashley Ahlquist, Yavapai County Emergency Manager. “Wildfire remains a year-round concern in Arizona, and we encourage everyone to continue making fire safety a part of every outdoor activity.”

Residents are advised to check with their local fire district for any specific regulations that may still apply in their area.

Excellent training today behind the firehouse with complex tactics for flowing water. We were able to knock this down very quickly.

It's possible that one of the pictures was enhanced ever so slightly with AI. The last picture is the real one.

Walker Fire responded to a small wildland fire that we named the Pristine Fire. Fortun@ately it was small and while structures were close by, none were damaged.

We had a knock down quickly. Thank you to Groom Creek Engine 41 and Prescott National Forest Engine 330 for all their help.
