Coconino National Forest Planned Prescribed Fire Activity for Friday, May 8.  
Remember that all prescribed fire activity is dependant on weather, crew availability, and approval from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (www.azdeq.gov).

A-1 PROJECT: Approximately 200 acres located on the east side of A-1 Mountain, west of Flagstaff. Crews will begin early and ignitions will be complete by mid-morning.  Smoke should dissipate quickly, and because this is a maintenance burn – meaning the area has been previously treated with prescribed fire – fuels and smoke should be lighter.  
 
LAKE MARY PROJECT: Approximately 3 acres southwest of Lower Lake Mary and Lake Mary Meadows.  This burn is for a Fire Investigator Class where crews will ignite 10-20 small plots so that Fire Investigator Trainees can practice finding the fires’ origins.  

The Forest's prescribed fire activity is also available on the Prescribed Fire Hotline at 928-226-4607.  Additional information can be found on the website, http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/conditions/current-rx.shtml, or by calling your local ranger station. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
