Sycamore Fire currently at 75 acres SEDONA, Ariz., May 28, 2018, For Immediate Release – Firefighters
from multiple national forests responded to the Sycamore Fire this morning northwest of Sedona in Sycamore Canyon Wilderness. The human-caused Sycamore Fire, now at 75 acres, was reported at about 10:20 a.m. by a member of the public
and Turkey Butte Lookout, and it continues to burn in rugged terrain consisting mostly of pinyon juniper. Initial reports put the fire within Coconino National Forest boundaries about 9 miles northwest of Sedona,
burning toward the northeast. However, the origin of the fire has now been determined to be on the
west side of the canyon, which is located on the Prescott National Forest approximately 14 miles northwest of Sedona. At this time, the fire has been kept to the west side of the canyon and light winds are pushing
smoke toward the west/northwest. Firefighting resources include four helicopters, two air attack resources, five crews, and three engines—totaling
more than 100 personnel. No structures are threatened. An update regarding this fire will be provided tomorrow morning. ###
