Be Aware of No Burn Days When Lighting Fireplace, Pits
Practice can potentially create pollution challenges
12/6/2011
As temperatures cool, residents will start using
their fireplaces and potentially create some pollution challenges. On most days,
it's "okay" to light a wood-burning fireplace or fire pit. However, there are
days when air pollution is forecast to be in the moderate to unhealthy range -
that is when Maricopa County will issue a No Burn Day. To learn more about No
Burn Day restrictions and wood-burning equipment, visit
