Never, Ever, have fireworks in the Forest or other public lands!

The Tank Fire, located about 1.5 mi NE of the Lake Mary Road & 87 junction is currently estimated at 50+ acres, and the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office has issued a pre-evacuation notice to Clear Creek units 1 & 2.

Weather update. Still looking like some moisture this weekend (but please remember that fire danger is still very high and restrictions remain in place). 🤞🌧️ https://t.co/Aod7cPgCSe

[Coconino NF @CoconinoNF]

Six closure areas still in effect... For all of the forest that is still open, it is in Stage II fire restrictions. No campfires, smoking, sparks, shooting, etc. The only way to cook food is a gas/propane stove you can turn off & on.

Just before 1:30 pm, troopers were able to find and stop white semi with a red trailer dragging parts of the trailer, causing the sparks that ignited the fires. The semi caused several fires over the length of 24 Miles. The truck was placed out of service. https://t.co/RBFdvKYieG

I believe so? Not testing, but documented Continuing Education, like EMS is required to do. Volunteers don't always get the skills they need. https://t.co/dZ4OCtIHMF

[FireRescue1 @FireRescue1]

Should firefighters be required to regularly recertify that they can perform basic skills? https://t.co/iWOxx8mCgG

!!UPDATE!!

After further review of the County's Wildland Fire Ordinance (2017-05), and consulting yesterday with the Coconino County Attorney's Office, the County has clarified its use of grills and gas stoves:... https://t.co/SmiaDaoO9s

It is hot! It is dry! Dragging trailer chains is bad! Chain sparks can cause brush fires. Be aware and be safe.

[Coconino NF @CoconinoNF]

@MormonLakeFire @azstateforestry Just for you... the Four Forest combined... just add county!
