Pile Burning Planned for Williams Ranger District WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Fire managers are assessing conditions for potential pile burning on the Williams Ranger District the week of Nov. 14-19. Depending on the amount of moisture the area gets over
the weekend and wind direction early next week, officials are considering the following projects:
-
City Buffer, 47 acres of slash piles – three miles south of Williams, west of County Rd. 73 and east of Elk Ridge Ski Area
-
Cataract Lake, 28 acres of slash piles – one mile north of Williams, north side of Cataract Lake Pile burning is part of an ongoing effort to reduce hazardous fuels and return important nutrients to the forest floor. All prescribed burning relies on the appropriate environmental conditions,
available personnel, and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval. For more information, please contact Punky Moore (928-635-5653).
