Managers Cancel Government Prairie Prescribed Fire
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Kaibab National Forest fire managers have canceled the 1,300-acre Government Prairie grassland prescribed fire planned for today.
Officials determined the current conditions are not favorable for meeting the objectives of the burn. The unit is located 16 miles northeast of Williams and northeast of Parks.
Fire specialists will continue to evaluate weather and fuels conditions for possible implementation at a later date. The objectives of the grassland
prescribed burn are to reduce the encroachment of trees and shrubs, enhance grass and forbs production, and return fire to a fire-adapted ecosystem.
