  • Fire lines are being tested at this time with size now estimated at 444,000 acres. They are under a red flag extreme weather watch. Anytime the winds reach 35 mph, all aircraft are grounded. Hope they can hold the line.

    You are correct in that the monsoon rains could cause some serious flooding in the burn areas near the affected towns and communities. Serious flooding did happen after the Shultz Fire in Flagstaff and that fire burned weeks before the monsoon. Only after that fire did rehab work begin with the thought of controlling floods. I am sure that the Incident commanders will have in their post mop-up plans that the crews do rehab work on the burned forest floor in order to minimize serious f More..
