===============================================================
Pending favorable weather conditions, the following prescribed fire projects are planned for tomorrow and Friday, April 23-24:
All prescribed fire activity is dependant on weather, crew availability, and approval from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (www.azdeq.gov).
Thursday April 23:
Fort Valley Project. Approximately 150 acres of broadcast burning northeast of Hwy 180, off Shultz Pass Road (Forest Road 420). Smoke is expected to disperse to the northeast with the forecast winds. Moderate winds in the evening should continue to move smoke out of the area, however, some will likely linger briefly around Hwy 180 and Baderville.
Rocky Project. Approximately 300 acres of broadcast burning southeast of Munds Park, approximately 5 miles east of I-17 off Forest Road 226. This is a maintenance burn so smoke should be lighter and will disperse to the northeast. Residual smoke will settle in the nearby canyons and drainages.
Projects fire managers will consider – pending weather conditions – for Friday April 24:
Rocky Project – East of I-17, south of Munds Park
A1 Project – North of I-40, West of Flagstaff
