U.S. Forest Service Postpones Prescribed Burns In All Arizona Forests

The U.S. Forest Service has postponed all prescribed burns in the forests, including the Prescott National Forest, until further notice. This decision to temporarily postpone ignitions will prevent any effects from smoke that might further worsen conditions for those who are at risk in our communities, while reducing exposure for employees who might not otherwise need to travel, and creating social distancing for resources working on the fire. This also means if you see smoke in the forest, it’s likely a wildfire so if you see something, say something and call 911.
