May 21, 2008: FIRE RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT:

PRESCOTT, AZ: Campfire and smoking restrictions will go into effect in the Groom Creek Fire District beginning Thursday, May 21, 2009. Fire District officials have determined that key trigger points have been reached to warrant taking these restrictive actions. Primary reasons include unseasonably dry fuels and rising temperatures.

The following restrictions will be in effect for all private lands within the Groom Creek Fire District:

  • Campfires, charcoal grills, or stove fires (wood, charcoal or any ash producing) are prohibited on all private lands.
  • Pressurized liquid or gas stoves, lanterns and heaters meeting safety specifications are allowed.
  • Smoking, except within an enclosed building or vehicle, or while stopped in an area at least three feet (3') in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
  • No new open burn permits will be issues, and all active burn permits will expire as of May 20, 2009.

California Wildfires - Why Some Averted Disaster

October 24, 2007

For nearly an hour, Marianne Shannon thought Stevenson Ranch's luck had run out.

A firefighter told her to take down her curtains to prevent them from igniting. Gusts knocked down the faux headstones she'd set up for Halloween.

Then as quickly as the danger came, the threat passed.

"The firemen were saying we were pretty well protected," Shannon said.
