Fire restrictions resources?

#1

Post by picodroid »

I've been watching the fire restrictions, hoping to get out on BLM land for some target practice. I've been following through this link: https://firerestrictions.us/az/az-blm/

But now that entire site is throwing back a 404 Not Found error! The government sites I've found direct you to that website, which makes it worse. There is one page I found on the BLM site that explains the current restrictions but it's not presented as well as the site that I first linked does. Here's the BLM link.
https://www.blm.gov/programs/public-saf ... strictions

Anyone have a good resource for updates on restrictions? Temps are dropping, hoping to get out there soon.

UPDATE:
Providing some good links I found (and as of Nov 11, fire restrictions are lifted!)
https://wildlandfire.az.gov/
https://www.blm.gov/programs/public-saf ... strictions

And a map showing the BLM land in AZ.

FIRE PREVENTION ORDER # AZ-P02-20-1 - Lower Sonoran Field Office (PDF)

News Release: BLM eases fire restrictions from Stage 2 to Stage 1 for Phoenix District (July 31, 2020)

Exploding targets, fireworks, and paper/sky lanterns are prohibited year-round on BLM-managed public lands in Arizona. Fire Prevention Order [PDF]

Also, I'm not sure at this point if temperature is the issue... I believe rain is the issue.

Yeah, temps dropping doesn't mean anything.
