Prescribed fire pile burning will be occurring in the vicinity of Arizona Highway 89A and Forest Road 248 one mile north of Jacob Lake from Tuesday, January 4th through Thursday, January 6th on the North Kaibab Ranger District.
Winter weather with snow on the ground present excellent opportunities every year for fire crews to burn and consume piled slash and woody debris left over from previous forest restoration projects. Approximately 100 acres of piles one mile north of Jacob Lake are planned for burning.
