The city-wide fire ban that was implemented on August 11, 2025 has now been lifted.

The ban was implemented as a precautionary safety measure in response to extreme fire conditions caused by prolonged drought, high temperatures, and reduced air quality.

Public education reminders

  • Stay vigilant indoors if air quality is poor, as wildfire smoke can worsen respiratory and cardiac health risks
  • Avoid using sparking equipment, such as lawn mowers or power tools, near dry vegetation
  • Store fuels and fire-starting materials safely, away from heat sources
  • Know and share evacuation routes, especially if you live near wooded areas
