Pile Burning to Continue next week on
Williams Ranger District WILLIAMS, Ariz. – The recent moisture is providing an opportunity for Kaibab National Forest fire crews to continue pile burning on the Williams
Ranger District. Crews are planning to ignite approximately 60 acres of piles north and west of Williams near Three Sisters and Whispering Pines subdivision Monday, December 5. Also, crews may burn piles south of Parks near Pine Aire next week.
The forecast shows snow and clouds continuing through Sunday; these are favorable conditions for pile burning. The National Weather Service is
calling for northeast winds Monday. Smoke may be visible north of I-40 and will likely settle near the project areas overnight.
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 or call the recorded information line at 928-635-8311.
