The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) has been working in close collaboration with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO), Prescott
National Forest, and other fire agencies involved with the Brady Fire south of Mayer, Arizona.
The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) is working closely with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO), Prescott National Forest, and other fire agencies involved with the Brady Fire near Mayer, Arizona.
At this time, zones YCU-2174-B and YCU-2216 are still on GO status.
Go means LEAVE immediately. Do not wait. Gather only essential items and leave as quickly as possible to ensure your safety. Visibility in the area may be reduced, and roads and evacuation routes can become blocked.
Today fire crews with the assistance of heavy equipment, where feasible, will continue to make access to the portions of the fire’s perimeter and construct line along the fires edge. The assessment of values at risk and protection efforts needed will resume. With forecasted winds, crews will look for opportunities to slow the fires progression to the north. Little growth was reported last night as cooler temperatures moderated fire behavior.
Over the fall and winter months, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) plans to take advantage of seasonally cooler temperatures to accomplish multiple prescribed fire projects throughout Arizona.
State prescribed fire managers say so far projects are planned for Coconino, Apache, Navajo, Maricopa, and Yavapai Counties.
Project work remains dependent on resource availability and on favorable weather conditions which provide for safe burning efforts and successful project implementation and completion.
