When air pollution levels are on the rise and weather conditions create dry, stagnant
conditions, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department will issue a No Burn Day. Restrictions
last for a 24-hour period, starting at midnight, and include a ban on wood burning activity
including fireplaces, fire pits, and open outdoor fires.
The purpose of the No Burn Day
restriction is to avoid adding pollution to our air when the forecast suggests air quality will
approach or exceed the federal health standard.
For more information: Visit Maricopa.gov/AQ to check the air quality status and learn whether it’s a No Burn Day. Or call 602-506-6400 to call the Maricopa County Burn Line. A recorded message in English and Spanish will let you know whether a No Burn Day is in effect.
