Fire Ban in Effect
In consultation with the Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management, has concluded that current conditions create an extreme fire hazard.  Therefore, a fire ban has been implemented within the Clarkdale Fire District boundaries.  This ban prohibits all open fires and campfires.  Other types of banned fires are those that produce open flames, such as burning oil in tiki lamps.  Fireworks and other pyrotechnic displays are expressly prohibited.  The ban also prohibits the outdoor use of equipment that generates open flames or a spark, i.e. welding equipment and chain saws.  Variances for businesses however, can be requested.  This ban allows cooking on barbecue grills (charcoal, propane or natural gas) as long as they are covered, however the public is urged to exercise extreme caution.  Anyone needing further information on this ban should contact Clarkdale Fire District at (928) 639-4591.

Insurance Rating
Clarkdale's Public Protection Classification (PPC) is a 4/8B. The PPC of 4 applies to properties within five road miles of the fire station and within 1,000 feet of a hydrant.  The PPC of 8B applies to properties  in the fire district that are outside these perimeters.

Many insurance companies use the PPC rating to help determine property insurance premiums.  The lower the PPC the better. We encourage all property owners to contact their insurance company to see what PPC rating they are using for your property.  The PPC has decreased substantially in the last few years, and you could be saving money on your premiums! 

Letter to provide your insurance company regarding the lower PPC.
