Flagstaff Ariz., Nov. 9, 2017, For Immediate Release —
Two prescribed burn projects will begin this morning on the Coconino National Forest which will produce smoke south of Kendrick Mountain and also near Clint’s Well.
The Horseshoe Wild Bill project (16 miles northwest of the Flagstaff) and Blue Ridge Urban Interface project (north of Clint’s Well) were both scheduled to begin Monday
and Tuesday, but the projects were postponed until yesterday due to unfavorable weather and wind conditions. Today the projects continue and will finish up the Coconino National Forest’s prescribed burning for this week.
Prescribed burns are always dependent upon weather and wind conditions, which can differ drastically across the forest. Prescribed burns are also subject to approval
from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality as they are coordinated across multiple forests.
FLAGSTAFF RANGER DISTRICT. Horseshoe – Wild Bill North Project When:
This project will only go forward tomorrow if the Horseshoe Slate project is completed today. Planned ignition will be tomorrow (Nov. 9)
at approximately 10 a.m. The estimated duration of this project is one to two days.
