The Fill Fire is continuing to burn southwest of Pinedale in the previous Rodeo-Chediski Fire perimeter off Forest Service Roads132 and 300 on the Lakeside Ranger District.
Fire crews are expecting precipitation in the area over the next few days and are continuing managed ignitions to clear up pockets of dense fuels within the fire boundaries. Fire activity is still expected to be low, and crews are monitoring winds and weather conditions to ensure fire remains beneficial to the location.

With continued fire operations today, smoke may become visible from State Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 260, as well as the communities of Heber-Overgaard, Linden, Pinedale, Snowflake, Taylor, Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside.
