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 within the areas described below:

Prohibited Activities

• Setting, building, maintaining, attending, or using open fires of any kind, except within 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.

Exemptions

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.
2. Any on-duty firefighter performing an official duty.

Area Description

The entire incorporated Tropic Town boundaries.

Effective Date: 12:01 A.M., July 28, 2026
