Calm Winds Allow Continued Air Operations
Williams,
Ariz., June
15, 2017—For
Immediate
Release. On Wednesday firefighters used aerial ignitions atop Kendrick Mountain to keep the fire within the planning area. As firing operations continue over the next several days, smoke may impact the communities of Kendrick Park, Flagstaff, Cameron,
Tuba City and Fort Valley. The community meeting being held in Flagstaff today will address smoke impacts to east Flagstaff and answer questions regarding the Boundary fire. Crews will continue to improve and secure lines in preparation for fire backing down
the slopes. Fire personnel aim to minimize loss of healthy, large ponderosa pine and conifer trees, while reducing residual debris left on the ground from the Pumpkin Fire of 2000. The low-intensity burn will help to set the ecosystem on a path in which fire
can play its natural role. Surrounding communities benefit from a healthy forest landscape.
Stage 1 fire restrictions go into effect on the Kaibab and Coconino national forests today. Stage 1 restrictions prohibit fires except within a developed recreation area. Smoking is prohibited except in a vehicle, building
or developed campground.
