WILDFIRE: Smith Fire (I-17)

Advertise with Flagscanner
There is a new #wildfire start right next to I-17 on the way to Sedona from Flagstaff. Though the #SmithFire is currently only approximately 2.5 acres, smoke is visible from the road. Fire managers are looking to potentially utilize this start for a larger managed fire and are assessing conditions in the area.
Managed fire is a term used for fires that have been ignited naturally, usually by lightning, in remote areas that don’t pose a risk to life and property. They often coincide with drought or heat events and start during times of year when fires historically burned.
