Fire Restriction Order (Stage 1)
Due to current and forecasted weather conditions coupled with the extremely dry
conditions, it has been determined that measures must be taken to prevent the ignition of
forest and rangeland fires. Therefore, Tropic Town has prohibited the following acts in
the areas described:
● Setting, building, maintaining, attending, or using open fires of any kind, except
within the facilities designated for them in improved campgrounds, picnic areas,
or home sites where running water is present.
● Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, camp trailer, or building, a
developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area that is paved or free from
dry vegetation.
● Discharging or using any kind of fireworks, tracer ammunition, or other
pyrotechnic devices, including exploding targets.
● Cutting, welding, or grinding metal in areas of dry vegetation.
● Operating a motorcycle, chainsaw, ATV, or other small internal combustion
engine without an approved and working spark arrestor.
The following persons are exempted from the above prohibitions:
1. Persons with a permit or waiver specifically issued by the fire chief authorizing a
specified act at a specific location. A waiver does not relieve the permittee of
liability if a fire does occur.
1. Any on-duty firefighter performing an official duty.
