WILLIAMS - Kaibab National Forest fire managers are requesting approval to burn approximately 263 acres of slash piles tomorrow in the Prairie Knolls project area. The project is about 16 miles east of Williams. Depending on weather conditions, managers intend to burn in the Prairie Knolls area Friday also.

In addition fire crews are still on schedule to ignite about 300 acres of piles in the Pineaire project area on Saturday. These piles are north and east of the Maine Consolidated Elementary/Middle School in Parks.

Ignition of the piles will begin early in the day, and smoke impacts will be closely monitored. Smoke may be present for several days after ignition. The forecast for tomorrow shows light northeasterly winds.
