Prescott National Forest fire officials will continue it’s prescribed burning in the Brindle Pup to Goat Peak area southwest of Mingus Mountain on Friday, September 7, weather conditions permitting.  The initial burn is to create approximately three miles of black containment line for upcoming prescribed burns scheduled for later this year. This treatment eliminates the fuels next to holding lines helping to ensure a safer prescribed burn. Firefighters have completed 150 acres and plan on treating seven acres on Friday.  

Drivers traveling on Forest Service Road #132 should be cautious due to smoke and possible delays.  For current information on prescribed burns visit http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/prescott or call the Prescott National Forest fire information line at 928-777-5799.
