The Ridge and Hull fires, burning in the ponderosa pine forests near Tusayan and the Grand Canyon, are not behaving the way people have come to expect of wildfires in the middle of June.

Fire crews have completed treatment on 641 acres of the Reed Rx project with about 700 acres remaining. Ignition operations have ceased for two days to allow smoke to transport away from the site and wait for more favorable weather conditions to return to the area.

Operations will resume into the weekend ahead, and managers anticipate completing the 1340 acre project by Sunday.
