Coconino NF prescribed burn planned for first week of June
Flagstaff, Ariz., June 1, 2015, For Immediate Release —
Fire managers are planning a maintenance prescribed burn beginning tomorrow (June 2) throughout the week near A-1 Mountain that will be very visible to Flagstaff
residents.
The A-1 Project burn consists of 645 acres and will likely be burned in blocks of about 200 acres each day from Tuesday through Thursday, depending on conditions.
The burn is located approximately six miles west of Flagstaff and a mile north of I-40 near A-1 Mountain.
Winds are expected to take the smoke in a northeast direction, up and over the community and may impact I-40 south of the burn during the evening hours.
Planned ignition time for this burn is 7:30 a.m. tomorrow and smoke will be visible to those driving along I-40, as well as surrounding communities such as Flagstaff,
Bellemont, Kachina Village, Baderville, Mountainnaire and Doney Park.
