The Pipeline Fire near Flagstaff remained active overnight with continued southwest winds. Further, there are two additional fires, the Haywire and Double fires burning in the area. Smoke from these three fires is moving toward the northeast and onto the Navajo and Hopi reservations. With strong winds and low relative humidity (Red Flag conditions) expected today, active fire behavior is once again likely, along with high levels of smoke production. With the strong winds, some smoke will stay near the ground with moderate to periods of high smoke impacts likely. Light to moderate smoke impacts will be possible on the Navajo and Hopi reservations.

UPDATE: ALL previously mentioned residents have been moved OFF SET status to READY status. FS road 283 will continue to be closed through the night.

Apache County Sheriffs office has advised that the following residential areas are on ‘SET’ status for the Marshall Fire in the Vernon area: Brusally and the area inside the polygon on the map. PLEASE know there are Sheriff’s Office Volunteers and Deputies in the area notifying the residents. Again, please avoid the area if possible as Emergency vehicles are coming in and out.

Vernon residents should be aware that once area winds start dying down after sunset, smoke from the Marshall Fire will settle into the lower lying areas in and around Vernon. Residents should be prepared by closing vents or putting air conditioners on recirculating and limit going outdoors. This is likely to continue for the next several days as fire crews are ‘mopping up’.
