Burn Cleaner, Burn Better!
Maricopa County Air Quality Department has partnered with local businesses, community organizations, government agencies, and residents of Maricopa County to encourage the greater community to come together and help reduce air pollution by not burning wood on No Burn Days. When air quality forecasting indicates that air quality standards for smoke pollution are likely to be exceeded, a No Burn Day is issued. During a No Burn Day, residents, visitors, and businesses are not allowed to use wood burning devices such as fireplaces, fire pits, or chimineas in Maricopa County. Although most types of outdoor fires are prohibited, gas and electric devices are permitted on No Burn Days.
“The Burn Cleaner, Burn Better campaign is a reminder of how important access to clean air is to our everyday life and well-being. The county is proud to be working directly with cities, communities, industries, and residents to protect our air quality,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers, District 1.
