Pile Burning Planned for Williams Ranger District

WILLIAMS, Ariz. - Kaibab National
Forest fire managers announce pile burning is planned later this week near
Dogtown Lake on the Williams Ranger District. If the burn request is approved
and favorable conditions exist, fire personnel plan to ignite 122 acres
of slash piles three miles southeast of Williams, Thursday, January 13.

        The
forecast shows light northeast winds over the next two days. Managers expect
smoke to drift south of the piles and settle in local areas overnight.

The pile burning is part of an
ongoing effort to reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest health. For
more information, please contact Punky Moore (928-635-5653).
