Firefighters plan to continue prescribed fire operations on the Black Mesa Ranger District of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests beginning October 8 through December 31, 2024, as weather and vegetation conditions allow for successful operations.
The Rimtop project area is 1,286 acres and is 9 miles west of the community of Forest Lakes. The project area is bounded by Forest Roads 195, 105, 9350, and constructed control lines. Trails around Woods Canyon Lake will also be used as a control line.
