The Springerville Ranger District on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests is planning to conduct prescribed fire operations April 21, 2017. The district plans to burn approximately 350 acres of the Aspen Meadows Unit, just North of Hall Ranch, off of Forest Service Road 117A and County Road 1325. Personnel will remain on scene monitoring the burn throughout the weekend as needed.

Ignitions will occur throughout the morning to minimize the adverse effects of smoke on the local communities. Smoke will be visible from Round Valley, Arizona State Highway 260, U.S. Highway60 and along Forest Road 117. Motorists are advised to drive safely when approaching areas where prescribed fire activities may limit visibility and hinder fire personnel operations.
