Guidelines.
A. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a uniform system in determining what fire restrictions are needed and when they are to be put into place during emergency fire conditions. B. As outlined in the proposed County and Town Outdoor Burning Ordinance, it shall be the duty of the Emergency Management Director of each respective jurisdiction to initiate additional fire restrictions within their respective jurisdiction during emergency fire conditions. C. Each Emergency Management Director will utilize the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Apache- Sitgreaves Zone K Energy Release Components (ERC) Monitoring System to help determine when emergency restrictions may be necessary. As a general guideline, when the ERC reading reaches 65, fire restrictions should be considered. D. In addition to monitoring the ERC readings, the Emergency Management Director of each jurisdiction will consult with the USFS, Fire Districts within their jurisdictions, and other Emergency Management Directors within Navajo County to assist in determining what fire restrictions are needed, when these emergency fire restrictions are to be initiated, and to establish a uniform date of the implementation of those restrictions. The Emergency Management Director for Navajo County shall be responsible for initiating and coordinating these actions throughout the county. E. When it has been determined emergency fire restrictions are necessary and the date of initiation has been determined, it will be the duty of the Emergency Management Director of each respective
jurisdiction to recommend to their respective authorizing agencies (County Board of Supervisors, Town
Council or Mayor) that the ordinance be activated and then to assure the public is notified of the
restrictions and the date of initiation. This shall be accomplished through the use of the newspaper, radio,
television, emergency broadcast system, phone messaging, public postings and other systems as needed.
It is important to remember it is vital this information is received by not only the local residents, but to the
visiting public as well.
