SOUTHWESTERN-NEWS-RELEASE: Kaibab National Forest Fire Information

[Sandra J Moore <sjmoore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Williams Ranger District
Pile Burning 
Postponed Until Friday 


WILLIAMS, Ariz. - Kaibab National
Forest fire managers announce pile burning planned near Dogtown Lake on
the Williams Ranger District will be postponed until Friday. Burning will
be delayed due to forecasted poor ventilation for Thursday. 
If conditions improve, fire personnel
plan to ignite 122 acres of slash piles three miles southeast of Williams,
Friday. 
        Light
winds are predicted late this week which will help with smoke dispersal.
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).
