Arizona’s 2018 wildfire season started with an unfavorable forecast. The lack of moisture and severe drought conditions set the stage for what could possibly be a very active fire season across the state.
But proactive measures taken by the state and federal partners helped prevent a possibly disastrous season.
State Forestry's 12-member All Hazard Incident Management team is working in Saipan to provide temporary shelters to residents affected by the recent Super Typhoon that hit the area.
Starting Tuesday, November 6th, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management will begin a prescribed burn in Apache County, five miles northwest of Eagar.
The Grasslands Rx Burn consists of burning 375 acres of hazardous vegetation on Game and Fish land in the White Mountain Grasslands Wildlife Area near Carnero Creek.
Ignitions will begin between 9:30-10 a.m., depending on favorable weather conditions. Once ignitions are complete, crews will remain on the burn and monitor the fire.
DFFM & Cooperators Collaborate on Fuels Reduction Project in Yavapai County. The project, named after Andrew Ashcraft, is a living memorial to the Granite Mountain 19 through land conservation and hazardous fuels mitigation.
Ideal weather conditions mean the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management will take advantage of the cooler temperatures and recent moisture in Apache County and begin a one-day pile burn operation on Wednesday, October 17th.
