The Flagstaff Fire Department’s Wildland Fire Management Crew tentatively plans to conduct a 12 acre prescribed broadcast burn tomorrow, Wednesday 10/29, in the Linwood Heights area located in the northwest corner of the city (T21N, R7E,
Sec. 5). Objectives of planned operations are to reduce the risk of devastating wildfire while helping maintain and improve key ecological components crucial to overall forest health and resiliency.
Forecasts indicate favorable winds will likely disperse smoke to the northwest and away from town during the day. Overall, smoke is expected to be relatively light and of short duration due to the small acreage to be burned and relatively
light fuel conditions resulting from previous burn operations at this site. Smoke may be visible from Highway 180, Hidden Hollow, Linwood, Cheshire and may settle in these areas overnight although it is expected to be minimal. Plans are tentative and dependent upon the arrival of forecast weather conditions and approval for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
