Fire managers on the Verde Ranger District have canceled the Crater RX planned for November 7 – 9, 2023, due to predicted winds, resource availability and current conditions. If favorable weather conditions and resource availability improve, the Crater RX could be implemented in the coming weeks. The Crater RX is located near the community of Cherry, north of Hwy 169 and east of County Road 75 (T14N, R3E, Sec 29, 30, 31, 32).
132 Blacklining RX - Fire mangers treated over 2,500 acres last week; the 132 Blacklining RX will create a fuel break or buffer between the community of Cherry and the perimeter of the Crater RX that has been canceled. Over the next few days, smoke will be visible on the 132 Blacklining RX as interior fuels consume.
