Flagstaff Fire To Hold Its Free Firewood Days At The End Of September

The Flagstaff Fire Department is once again holding its free firewood giveaway. Officials say the event will be held Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. until the wood is gone on Saturday. The site is located on the north side of West Route 66. Officials say to travel west on I-40, and exit and turn north onto Flagstaff Ranch Road then proceed to West Route 66 then turn east. The entry gate will be on the left a quarter mile ahead. Through town, the access gate is on the north side of West Route 66, a quarter-mile west of the city’s public works yard. The wood is ponderosa pine and was cut to 16-18 inch lengths over the past several months. No chain saws will be allowed on site. Four-wheel trucks are recommended, but trailers won’t be allowed. The wood is from a recent thinning project designed to protect the community from wildfire and improve the ecosystem.
