It is one of the smaller communities in Arizona, but the most at-risk for wildfires. The community of Pine Lake, southeast of Kingman, sits within the Hualapai Mountains in an area susceptible to catastrophic wildfire.

The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) proudly announces the recent, successful completion of two critical forest restoration projects, the Baker and Poco Pino Timber Sales. These projects, executed under Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) agreements between DFFM and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, reflect significant strides in enhancing forest health, reducing wildfire risk, and restoring vital ecosystems. These projects are within the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) landscape, an area identified as having high wildfire risk by the Forest Service.
