Attached is the Wildcat Fire update
on the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest for Monday, June 20, 2016. Thank you! r/s David
June 20, 2016 Location: South of Hwy 89A, southwest of FR 8910 and 211 within the vicinity of Saddle Mountain
Wilderness. Size: Approximately 1,502-acres. Percent contained: 55%
Cause: Lightning. Resources assigned: 295 personnel, which include engine crews, hand crews, air support, water tenders
and dozers. Management strategy: Full suppression. Summary:
As a reminder, both the North and South Canyon trails are temporarily closed in order to provide for
public and firefighter
safety. Public notification will be released once the closure is rescinded.
The North Canyon Trail closure starts at Forest Road (FR) 631 and extends to the intersection of the Arizona Trail on the west side, approximately 0.75 miles from FR611. The South Canyon Trail
closure starts at FR211 and extends to the west side trailhead near the junction of FR610 and FR2599. Today fire activity continued to be minimal resulting in no growth of the fire size. However, near record temperatures continue to be a concern as relative humidity
and fuel moisture remain very low and the potential for fire growth still exists. Visitors are encouraged to continue to be cautious while driving through House Rock Valley on Arizona Highway 89A, in the vicinity of Jacob Lake and the junction
of Arizona Highway 67 and 89A due to fire related traffic, and reminded that camp fire and smoking fire restrictions remain in effect until rescinded.
