Prescribed Burning Update

for Williams Ranger District

 

 

WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Kaibab National Forest fire crews plan to continue pile burning on the Williams Ranger District Wednesday, December 7, pending Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval. Managers are requesting approval to burn piles in the following locations:

 

South of Woods Subdivision – approximately 200 acres of piles

City Buffer – about 50 acres of piles, south side of Bill Williams Mountain

 

The National Weather Service is forecasting mostly sunny conditions Wednesday with light wind and poor ventilation. Smoke may impact County Road 73 and the Woods Subdivision.  

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.
