Firefighters worked diligently yesterday constructing and securing a line along the fires edge increasing containment on the Brady Fire to 49%. The fire has had no additional growth and remains at 363 acres. Due to minimal fire activity and increased containment, fire managers have begun right-sizing resources and personnel attached to the incident. Crews, engines and support resources helping on the Brady Fire will be released, freeing them up to support other possible incidents across the Southwest.

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.
