Fire managers on the Bradshaw Ranger District have cancelled ignition plans for the Ranch Prescribed Fire (RX), however ignitions can still be expected to begin on Monday November 28, 2022, as fire crews continue to target debris piles south of the Lynx Lake area and throughout the Prescott Basin. Smoke production will be highly visible from multiple locations including Chino Valley, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt but should be short in duration.
