TONTO NATIONAL FOREST PLANS PRESCRIBED BURN FOR PINE AREA
For Immediate Release February 1, 2010
Contact: Gary Roberts
Fire Prevention Officer
928-474-7900
Prescribed burn planned for Feb. 2
on Payson Ranger District
Payson, Ariz. (Feb. 1, 2010) – A prescribed fire operation is planned for tomorrow in the southeast corner of Pine above the Pine Trailhead announced Tonto National Forest fire specialists today.
Prescribed fire operations are always dependent on optimum weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, fuel moisture content, and wind speed and direction prior to ignition.
“The project targets up to 250 acres of vegetative debris piles. We anticipate only getting one day of ideal weather this week to burn; however, if we don't get the precipitation that is projected for mid-week, we will attempt to continue prescribed burning operations through Sat., Feb. 6,” announced Gary Roberts, district fire prevention officer.
Residents and visitors to the area can expect to see light to moderate amounts of smoke each day of the prescribed burn operation. Smoke will be light to moderate during the day, but will be very visible due to the location of the burn. Smoke will move up and over the community of Pine toward the Mogollon Rim during the day. Most smoke will dissipate by sundown. Residual smoke in the evening hours will move down Pine Creek toward Tonto Natural Bridge.
For information about prescribed fire and mechanical fuels reduction operations, please call the Payson Ranger District at 928-474-7900. Residents can also stay updated on forest prescribed burns at www.fs.fed.us/r3/tonto. To report a wildland fire, the fire emergency number is 480-457-1555, or 866-746-6516.
