June 30 - Evening status update

The main activity on the Flagstaff fire today was a 20 acre burning operation conducted within the eastern interior of the fire. This was a planned burning operation, similar to yesterday’s burning operation. This activity allowed firefighters to secure the line along the eastern flank by burning some of the unburned fuels that may have otherwise posed a threat to the fireline. Smoke from this operation was visible from surrounding areas throughout the afternoon. This work, along with additional crews continuing to construct direct fireline and extinguish hot spots up to 100 feet inside the fireline, resulted in moving significantly closer to full containment of the fire.

Residents within local communities should expect to continue to see occasional flare-ups during the night, as well as lingering smoke from within the fire area. These flare-ups are a result of small, unburned islands of fuel, including single trees, well within the fire’s interior. They do not pose a threat to the fire’s perimeter.
