Ladies & Gentlemen, Enclosed is today’s Fuller Fire update. Thank you! Respectfully, David
Heat, smoke linger within Fuller Fire’s perimeter
Tuesday August 9, 2016 Completion:
48%
Acres:
14,541 Start Date:
June 29, 2016 Cause:
Lightning
Location:
Point Imperial, N. Rim Grand Canyon NP
Total Personnel: 119
Fuels/Topography:
Timber, grass, rugged terrain
Crews continue work on the cleanup and improvement of fire lines along forest roads 610 and 219 as remnants of the Fuller Fire continue to smoke and
smolder despite heavy rain last week. The work on the contingency lines is vital because the lingering heat within the fire’s perimeter could spark another period of activity if heat remains after monsoon season.
Fire plays a natural role in the landscape in the Kaibab and Grand Canyon and
reduces the likelihood of catastrophic wildfire in the future by restoring the natural fire cycle and improving forest health. Closure: The boundary of the forest closure area closure is east of Highway
67 at the junction of FR 610 and FR 611, heading northeast where the junction of FR611 and the North Canyon Trail intersect, continuing on the North Canyon Trail to the Trailhead on FR 631, then south on FR 631 to the junction with FR 445A, then northeast
along FR 445A to the junction with FR 8910, then southeast along FR8910 to the Forest boundary with Grand Canyon National Park and following this boundary south and west to FR 610 “This Order only affects National Forest System Lands.” For a map of the closure,
