The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) has been working in close collaboration with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO), Prescott
National Forest, and other fire agencies involved with the Brady Fire south of Mayer, Arizona.

Cooler evening temperatures along with firefighters and the help of air support kept the Brady Fire from growing yesterday. Air support assisted firefighters on the ground by dropping retardant slowing active fire behavior. After more accurate mapping the Brady Fire is holding at 363 acres. Crews will continue constructing line along the fires edge and securing where achievable. The assessment of values at risk and protection efforts needed will resume in the community of Pine Flat.

At this time, zones YCU-2174-B and YCU-2216 are still on GO status.

Go means LEAVE immediately. Do not wait. Gather only essential items and leave as quickly as possible to ensure your safety. Visibility in the area may be reduced, and roads and evacuation routes can become blocked.

Today fire crews with the assistance of heavy equipment, where feasible, will continue to make access to the portions of the fire’s perimeter and construct line along the fires edge. The assessment of values at risk and protection efforts needed will resume. With forecasted winds, crews will look for opportunities to slow the fires progression to the north.  Little growth was reported last night as cooler temperatures moderated fire behavior.
