Farmington Fire Department will not issue burn permits effective Saturday until further notice because of current drought conditions.
Acting Farmington Fire Chief Robert Sterrett said, “We’ve been carefully monitoring the ongoing drought and evaluating the 30- and 60-day weather outlook as it relates to the threat of wildland (fires). The city of Farmington and San County are currently in exceptional drought (D4). Unfortunately, little if any relief is in the forecast, and conditions are expected to worsen this month and into June.”
The public can expect additional restrictions this summer if conditions continue to worsen.
