In response to Tropical Storm Hilary, the Southern Arizona Chapter of the American Red Cross is collaborating with Emergency Management in LA Paz, Pima, and Yuma Counties. Volunteers are on standby in case emergency shelters are needed.
Hand crews assigned to the Stockton Fire conducted successful firing operations overnight, and despite very active fire behavior, were able to burn out around the southern and eastern flanks helping to slow the fire’s growth on those sides.
An increase in fire activity, along with dry and warm weather prompt the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) to implement Stage 1 fire restrictions on State Trust lands within parts of Central Arizona.
Starting tomorrow, Friday, May 26, 2023, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management implements Stage I fire restrictions on State Trust Lands within La Paz, Mohave, and Yuma Counties.
