The Flagstaff Fire Department’s Wildland Fire Management Division plans to conduct a 40 acre prescribed broadcast burn tomorrow at the US Naval Observatory located approximately 5 miles west of downtown Flagstaff (T21N, R6E, Sec. 22).  Ventilation is forecast to be “Very Good” and smoke is expected to disperse north with the forecasted winds.  Little smoke impact is expected to area residents.  Smoke may be visible during the day from parts of Flagstaff and along Interstate I-40. 

 

This burn is being conducted to reduce surface fuel accumulations to benefit forest health and to reduce wildfire risk around the Naval Observatory facilities.  The final decision to burn is dependent upon favorable weather conditions and approval from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. 

 

Please call (928) 213-2500 with any questions.

 

Additional prescribed fire information can be obtained from the USFS Prescribed Fire Hotline at (928) 226-4607.
