Crews conducting prescribed pile burns today through Thursday
Flagstaff, AZ - Fire managers on the Coconino National Forest will be takin=
g advantage of the snow to conduct prescribed pile burns across the forest =
this week. Today, Monday November 7, crews plan to burn piles south of Litt=
le America as well as miscellaneous piles near Knoll Lake, south of the com=
munity of Blue Ridge.
Eastside Project: Up to 100 acres of piles located south of Flagstaff and t=
he Little America Hotel, off Harold Ranch Rd. Smoke will disperse to the no=
rth east, and will likely be noticeable in the community off Harold Ranch R=
d, though it should be lighter. Crews will burn in increments of 50 acres.
Miscellaneous Piles: Approximately 20 acres of piles located 10-15 miles so=
uth of the community of Blue Ridge, near Knoll Lake. Smoke will be light an=
d disperse to the north.
For the remainder of the week, fire managers will consider various location=
s for pile burning including the Harold Ranch Road area again; Elden Pueblo=
area northeast of Flagstaff off Hwy 89; and the Kelly Canyon area south of=
Kachina Village, east of I-17.
Prescribed fire activity is dependent on personnel availability, weather - =
including winds and ventilation, and approval from the Arizona Department o=
f Environmental Quality (www.azdeq.gov<http://www.azdeq.gov>).
Fire managers make every effort to minimize smoke impacts to the communitie=
s while continuing to address the critical need to reduce the risk of sever=
e wildfires around those communities. Tactics to keep smoke impacts as mini=
mal as possible include cancelling burns when conditions aren't favorable, =
finding alternative uses for the debris in slash piles, timing ignitions to=
allow the majority of smoke time to disperse prior to settling overnight, =
and burning larger sections at a time when conditions are favorable to redu=
ce the overall number of days smoke is in the area.
In addition, the Coconino National Forest coordinates prescribed fire plans=
with the partners of the Ponderosa Fire Advisory Council (which includes l=
ocal fire departments), as well as neighboring forests, to reduce the impac=
t of smoke on the communities.
