Ladies & Gentlemen, Good morning! Enclosed is the Fuller Fire update for Thursday July 28, 2016. Thank you! Respectfully, David
Fuller Fire Update: Fire Activity Increasing as Temps Increase Thursday - July 28, 2016
Acres:
14,385 Start Date:
June 29, 2016
Cause:
Lightning Location:
Point Imperial, N. Rim Grand Canyon NP
Total Personnel:
270 Fuels/Topography:
Timber, grass, rugged terrain The Fuller Fire saw an increase in activity in the interior portions of the fire. Several islands of previously unburned
mixed-conifers quickly burned Wednesday afternoon putting a small amount of smoke into the air. As the forecast for the next several days shows an increase in temperatures and a decrease in relative humidity, Fire Managers expect to see more fire activity
along the western edge of the Fuller Fire perimeter. In anticipation of the potential for fire spread to the west, crews have been successful in preparing Forest Service Roads 610 and 611 to serve as potential fire breaks for the Fuller Fire. Preparing fuel
breaks ahead of the lightning started fire is part of the incident management team’s objective of protecting built up areas along Highway 67 from the fire. Fire crews will continue to monitor the fire and take actions as needed to protect public and visitor
safety. Smoke:
Northeast winds are expected today. For more information on smoke and your health visit: http://wildlandfire.az.gov/links.asp#Smoke
