For a second day in a row strong gusty wind and Red Flag fire weather conditions continue to challenge firefighters on the Blue River and Dry Lakes fires burning on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.  The conditions have had greater impact on the Blue River Fire northeast of San Carlos, as it burns actively through the thick grass and high desert brush, often pushing through fresh lines of fire retardant. The fires have been active late into the evenings and early morning.

The Arizona Central West Zone Type Three Incident Management Team has been asked to assist with the management of two lightning caused fires on San Carlos Apache tribal lands. The team arrived on Sunday, June 7, to begin the transition and brief with tribal forestry staff and firefighters currently on the fires. The team will assist with the complex intersection of fire suppression as the San Carlos Apache reservation remains under an active stay-at-home order due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
