Tusayan, Ariz., July 26, 2016—For Immediate Release. Yesterday, crew members finished the preparation work of burning out the area along Forest Road 2719 in order to prevent the fire from going beyond that. Today, firefighters will
continue by burning along approximately 2 miles of the Arizona Trail from Watson Trick Tank to Forest Road 303. This work will reduce any potential for high intensity fire and improve safety to users of the trail. The Arizona Trail will be open to hikers, however, it is advised to use caution as there will be some smoke in the area. The winds today will be out of the northeast and smoke is expected to be visible from Highway 64 and the Grand Canyon
East Rim Drive as well as from the town of Valle. Coco Fire Overview: Start Date: July 22, 2016 For more information: ·
