Fire Restrictions 101 🔥
Northern Utah has received several rainstorms recently, which has many people asking: Can we burn now? When will Stage 2 fire restrictions be lifted?
The short answer: There isn’t a set date—and yes, Stage 2 restrictions are still in effect.
Fire restrictions are based on the overall conditions, not just recent rainfall. Interagency fire officials consider:
🍂 Live fuel moisture
⛈️ Recent precipitation
🌡️ Temperature
💧 Humidity
💨 Wind and weather forecasts
🔥 Current fire activity
🚒 Available firefighting resources
Restrictions help prevent human-caused fires, reduce risks to communities, homes, visitors, and firefighters, and protect recreation areas, wildlife habitat, and watersheds.
Please continue to follow all Stage 2 restrictions and know before you go.
