Pile Burning to Continue on
Williams Ranger District WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Kaibab National Forest fire crews plan to continue pile burning on the Williams Ranger District, Friday, December 2. Crews may
burn up to 200 acres of piles north and west of Williams near Signal Hill and Three Sisters, pending favorable conditions and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval.
The forecast shows a chance of snow continuing through Sunday. East winds will transport smoke west of the project areas. Smoke may be visible
north of I-40. The moisture will help prevent fire from spreading into the surrounding vegetation.
Piles are made of stacked tree slash cut during thinning projects. The goals of thinning and pile burning are to reduce fire hazard and return
important nutrients to the soil. For more information about prescribed fires, please call Punky Moore, Fire Information Officer, 928-635-5653.
