Mohave County implemented Stage II fire restrictions that began on May 12, 2020, banning all outdoor fires, campfires, and permissible consumer fireworks on private and public lands in the unincorporated areas of the county. The Bullhead City Fire Department has subsequently instituted the Stage II fire burn ban within city limits beginning on this date, May 27, 2020, until a determination of Fire Emergency is rescinded. This decision is based upon current fire weather conditions, which include extremely dry vegetation, heavy fuel loads, wind, and extreme temperatures. Between May 1 and May 26, 2020, BCFD crews have been dispatched to a total of 37 brush/vegetation fire calls for service.
