Show Low under stage 1 fire restrictions; city schedules wildfire preparedness events
Summary
Mayor and city manager reminded residents that stage 1 fire restrictions are in effect and announced two community wildfire-preparedness events on March 12 and March 29 to help residents prepare for fire season.
Mayor (name not specified) and city management reminded residents that the city is under stage 1 fire restrictions and urged caution, reporting and preparedness.
The city manager told the council there is information about stage 1 fire restrictions on the city's social media accounts and website and announced two public opportunities to learn more: a community wildfire preparedness presentation at City Council Chambers on March 12 from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and a White Mountain Wildfire Preparedness Expo on March 29 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Blue Ridge High School, 1200 W.

The city manager said the fire department will participate in the March 12 presentation and encouraged residents to attend to learn about prevention, home hardening and family readiness.
Mayor comments emphasized local dry conditions and recent nearby fires as reasons for heightened caution; he asked residents to report fires and to avoid unnecessary open burning while conditions are dry.
Ending: City staff will continue public information efforts on stage 1 restrictions and host the scheduled preparedness events; no formal council action was required.
