Coconino County Public Works, in conjunction with the U.S Forest Service, is conducting a prescribed burn at the Willard Springs Transfer Station located off of exit 326 on the west side of Interstate 17, 17 miles south of Flagstaff.

This burn is necessary to reduce the existing stockpile of pine needles, tree trimmings and other forest materials at the transfer station before the start of the 2015 fire season. It is expected to smolder until spring and will be monitored by the Mormon Lake Ranger Station.
