Coronado National Forest

The Safford Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest expects to conduct the YLE Prescribed Fire as early as Feb. 8 through Feb. 26, 2021. The project area consists of National Forest Lands in the northwestern portion on the Galiuro Mountains in southeastern Arizona.

The project boundaries lie between Rattlesnake Canyon on the east and the Forest Boundary on the west, and Copper Creek on the northern end and Kielberg Canyon on the southern end.

 The Safford Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest plans to conduct slash pile burning activities on Mt. Graham in the Pinaleño Mountains over the winter months, beginning this week. Burning will be dependent upon weather conditions.

Slash piles will be burned within the Pinaleño Ecosystem Restoration Project.  This project area extends from the Snow Flat campground along Hwy 366 to the Columbine Administrative site.  Fire crews will be present to take action as needed throughout the projects.

The Santa Catalina Ranger District, Coronado National Forest plans to burn piles of wood as conditions are optimal between December 15 and 18, 2020.

The area to be burned is approximately one-half mile north of Summerhaven on Mt. Lemmon, at the Mt. Lemmon Fire Department Helispot.

The burning will consume a small pile of slash (15 feet by 15 feet) of woody debris gathered from post-Bighorn Fire suppression efforts. Little smoke will be visible during the firing operations and for several hours following ignition while the pile burns.
