Fire Managers on the Bradshaw Ranger District plan to take advantage of predicted weather to burn piles located near Copper Basin, Spruce Mountain, Groom Creek, and areas along Walker Road starting on Wednesday, January 20th through Tuesday, January 26th.     Fire managers expect smoke impacts to Prescott and surrounding areas to be light.  Pile burning helps to reduce hazardous fuels adjacent to the wildland urban interface and increase ecosystem and community resilience. 

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a PM-2.5 High Pollution Advisory for Saturday, January 2, 2021.  A No Burn Day is in effect for January 1 & 2 for Maricopa County.
