Pile burning scheduled for Kaibab Plateau
FREDONIA, Ariz. - Fire managers on the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest plan to burn hand piles on the Kaibab Plateau over the next month as weather permits.
The piles are located in the Fracas Canyon area along Forest Road 462 southwest of Jacob Lake. They are left over from previous mechanical thinning treatments. Thinning, hand piling, and pile burning are part of an effort to prevent future catastrophic wildfires by removing accumulations of woody debris from the forest.
Light smoke may be visible from Jacob Lake, Fredonia, Kanab, and within the immediate vicinity.
For more information, please contact Public Affairs Specialist Patrick Lair at (928) 643-8172.
