Pile Burning Canceled on Williams Ranger District WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Fire managers have canceled plans to burn piles on the Williams Ranger District this week. Firefighters intended to burn slash piles three miles south of Williams and one mile
north of Williams; however, not enough moisture occurred over the weekend to meet the objectives of these burns.
Conditions will be assessed on a regular basis for future prescribed burns. 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).
