Pile Burns Set For West Flagstaff This Week

The Flagstaff Wildland Fire crew will be conducting pile burns at several locations around the westside of Flagstaff this week. Pile burns will take place in Linwood Heights, Summit Station 37 near Fort Valley, the Westridge neighborhood and Observatory Mesa. The piles were created from hazardous fuels projects by the crews during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. The pile burns will be closely monitored to ensure good consumption and minimal smoke impacts to the surrounding areas.
