Are you seeing smoke?

Prescribed fire operations, primarily involving pile burning, are planned by fire managers on the Prescott National Forest within the Prescott Basin of the Bradshaw Ranger District. The hand piles originate from recent hazardous fuels reduction and thinning projects. Pending the receipt of all necessary approvals, ignitions may commence as early as Monday, December 8, and persist through January 2026, contingent upon favorable conditions. Recent rainfall has created favorable conditions for pile burning in various regions across the forest. Smoke impacts are anticipated to be minimal and discernible from Prescott, Prescott Valley, Wilhoit, Chino Valley, Dewey Humboldt, and surrounding areas. As nighttime temperatures decrease, smoke may persist in drainages and valleys.
