MOHAVE COUNTY, AZ- FIRE RESTRICTIONS IMPLEMENTED COUNTY-WIDE. Due to critical fire weather conditions, including high temperatures, low humidity, dry vegetation, and sustained winds, Mohave County has enacted fire restrictions for all four Fire Zones within the unincorporated areas of the county. These restrictions take effect 8:00 a.m. on May 21, 2026, and remain in place until such time as the Determination of the fire emergency is rescinded. The restrictions prohibit all open fires, campfires, and the use of consumer fireworks in the unincorporated areas of Mohave County, except for July 4, 2026, at elevations below 4,200 feet. This action is authorized under Mohave County Ordinance 2013-04 and Arizona Revised Statutes § 36-1606, which allows local jurisdictions to restrict or prohibit the use of permissible consumer fireworks in areas determined to be under a fire emergency. It is important to note that while Arizona law allows the sale of certain fireworks, Mohave County prohibits their use during a fire emergency in accordance with ARS § 36-1606 and local ordinance. Possession alone is not a violation—but ignition, discharge, or use of consumer fireworks is strictly prohibited under the current emergency fire conditions, except as noted for July 4 at elevations below 4,200 feet. WHAT FIREWORKS ARE PROHIBITED UNDER ARS § 36-1606? While Arizona allows the sale of certain consumer fireworks, ARS § 36-1606 makes clear that counties may restrict or prohibit use during times of elevated fire danger, particularly when Stage One or higher fire restrictions are in place. Mohave County, under current fire emergency conditions, prohibits the use of any fireworks that meet the following criteria: Not Permissible: Fireworks designed to rise into the air, explode, or fly above the ground are strictly prohibited. This includes but is not limited to:
- Firecrackers
- Bottle/Sky rockets
- Missile-type rockets
- Helicopters
- Aerial shells
- Roman candles
- Torpedoes
- Mine devices
- Shell devices (mortars)
- Aerial salute kits
- Reloadable tubes
Permissible (Sale May Be Allowed, Use Restricted): The following consumer fireworks are generally considered permissible under Arizona law but are still restricted from use during a fire emergency in Mohave County:
- Cylindrical/Cone fountains
- Illuminating torches
- Wheels
- Ground spinners
- Toy smoke devices
- Wire/Flitter sparklers or dipped sticks
- Multiple tube ground and handheld sparkling devices (if compliant with NFPA 1124)
EXEMPTIONS INCLUDE:
- Fires set or permitted by authorized federal, state, or local officers in the course of official duties.
- Fires for disease and pest control by the State Entomologist or County Agricultural agents.
- Fires permitted by the United States, State of Arizona, or federally recognized tribes for fire prevention, watershed rehabilitation, or vegetative management.
- Fires permitted by the Mohave County Emergency Management Officer or designee with written documentation.
- Cooking fires fueled by propane or charcoal.
Violations of this proclamation are considered a Class 2 misdemeanor under county ordinance and are subject to fines up to $750 and/or up to four months in jail. The fire restrictions will remain in effect until the Emergency Management Officer determines that emergency fire conditions no longer exist. For questions or more information, contact:

Ummm...this is a new one on me. Poor b***o.
But also ... poor RV Park Owner. They just bought (involuntarily) septic tank remediation and replacement. In rural areas, it is a GREAT idea to make your septic tank inaccessible to cars and heavy critters. Fence it, put rocks around it, be creative. And b***os are stubborn critters, so good luck!! (And part of me thinks this wouldn't have happened with a concrete tank, but I don't have all the details so I'm not sure...) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EQBTdjap1/

A crappy situation turned into a happy ending thanks to the quick teamwork of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and some helpful neighbors in northwestern Arizona.

One morning, the BLM’s Kingman Field Office got an unusual report: a wild b***o had fallen into a septic tank in an RV park in Golden Valley, Arizona.

BLM wild horse and b***o specialists immediately responded and upon arrival found the wild b***o struggling to hold its head above the water and raw sewage in the septic tank — the tank was about six feet deep. The b***o managed to somehow stand on its back legs and hold its head just outside the septic tanks lid. The b***o was clearly exhausted, and the specialist knew they needed to act fast.

Although unknown on exactly how or when the b***o fell into the tank, RV park residents believed he’d been stuck in the cold, wet septic tank overnight. While approximately 75 degrees outside during the day, it had been about 40 degrees that night and potentially even chillier in the tank!

Working with the RV park’s maintenance crew, the team decided the best and safest option was to pump the sewage out, carefully cut open the top and use heavy equipment to lift the b***o out of the tank. Soon, it would be all hands on deck to rescue the b***o.

The situation drew a few curious RV park residents, with one resident helping to track down a backhoe to help. The backhoe arrived and the maintenance crew finished cutting the tank. A strap was then carefully placed around the b***o and, with help from local residents, safely lifted out.

Since no one is rescued from a well-used septic tank looking their best, the b***o was gently rinsed off with a water hose and provided alfalfa and fresh, clean water.

As Arizona’s communities grow, public lands increasingly border neighborhoods, roadways, infrastructure, and more. Burros often reside in these areas in search of food and water that local residents readily provide. Wild b***os are naturally curious, which means they can find themselves in surprising places — and sometimes in trouble.

Thanks to coordinated efforts, this b***o got a second chance.

RE: Senate Bill 1479
April 10, 2026

Today, Arizona reached a significant milestone in property protection as the Governor signed Senate Bill 1479 (SB1479) into law – the state’s first comprehensive measure aimed at preventing deed fraud. SB1479 was sponsored by Senator Frank Carroll and co-sponsored by Senator’s Fernandez, Kavanagh, Payne, Sears, Shamp, Shope and Bliss.

This landmark legislation established many critical safeguards to enhance the integrity and security of property ownership and deed transfers throughout Arizona.

Safeguard #1: Individuals recording documents in person must present valid photo identification, unless the filing is conducted by an escrow officer, title agent, chartered bank or governmental entity.

Safeguard #2: County Assessors are now required to implement an Address Protection Program that notifies enrolled property owners of any ownership changes affecting their property(ies). This program is modeled after the successful initiative developed by the Mohave County Assessor’s Office in 2022.

Safeguard #3: Any individual who records a document containing material misstatements or false claims is liable to the property owner for no less than $5,000 or the actual damage incurred, whichever is greater, along with reasonable attorney fees and legal costs.

Safeguard #4: A person named in a fraudulent document who knowingly refuses to release or correct the record within twenty days of receiving written notice will be liable for at least $1,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater, in addition to reasonable attorney fees and associated costs.

Safeguard #5: Knowingly recording fraudulent documents is now classified as a Class 5 felony, an increase from the previous classification of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Safeguard #6: Notary publics are required to obtain a thumbprint for all deed-related notarizations, adding a critical layer of identity verification.

Safeguard #7: Remote notarizations are permitted under strict guidelines, including the requirement that notary journals capture the signer’s identification number and that audiovisual recordings of the transaction be retained for a minimum of seven years.

SB1479 passed unanimously through committees in both the Arizona House and Senate, reflecting strong bipartisan agreement on the importance of protecting property owners. This overwhelming support underscores a clear mandate from Arizona’s elected officials to strengthen safeguards around one of the most valuable assets individuals own – their homes. The success of this legislation is the result of collaborative efforts among state lawmakers, county Assessors, Recorders, the Attorney General’s office and even a deed fraud victim, all worked together to develop practical, effective solutions to combat deed fraud. SB1479 represents a significant step forward in protecting property rights in Arizona by introducing multiple layers of security that were previously unavailable. These measures are expected to increase public confidence, enhance transparency, and improve overall satisfaction with property ownership protections across the state.

Mohave County extend its sincere gratitude to the many individuals and organizations whose dedication and persistence over the years made this deed fraud legislation possible. Their commitment to protecting property owners and strengthening safeguards against fraud has been invaluable.

We would like to recognize many contributions from the Mohave County Assessor’s Office, Senator Selina Bliss, Senator Frank Carroll, Representative Patty Contreras, Don Carroll of the Attorney General’s Office, Debora Gotlieb a deed fraud victim whose voice helped bring urgency to this issue, and of course the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office who made it cross the finish line.

Their years of advocacy, collaboration, and public service have been instrumental in advancing this important legislation.

The hero’s listed above are by no means inclusive of all that have supported this vision of protecting Arizona property owners.
