Pile Burning Planned next week on
Williams Ranger District WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Pending favorable conditions and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval, fire crews may ignite approximately 100
acres of slash piles on the Williams Ranger District Monday, December 19. The slash piles are three miles southeast of Williams, just south of the Woods Subdivision. Additional pile burning may occur Tuesday in this general location.
The National Weather Service is calling for northwest winds Monday. Smoke will travel south of the project during operations and may settle in
the local area overnight. 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 or call the recorded information line at 928-635-8311.
