Fire managers postpone prescribed fires on Kaibab Plateau
Fredonia, Ariz., May 24, 2016 — For Immediate Release. Effective immediately, North Zone fire managers have postponed this week’s plans to conduct both the Bridge
Unit and Moquitch 4 prescribed fires due to predicted high winds on the Kaibab Plateau. High wind activity could potentially cause implementation efforts to exceed acceptable parameters for the hazardous fuels reduction prescription. Therefore, fire managers will commence plans to test burn on
both units once predicted weather, wind speed, and air quality conditions align favorably with prescription constraints. Current future information on current Kaibab National Forest both upcoming prescribed burn notifications and wildfires will be provided through the following methods: Fire Information Recorded Hotline: 928-635-8311 Twitter: www.twitter.com/KaibabNF (Text ‘follow kaibabnf’ to 40404 to receive text
