, Ariz. — A Type 3 Incident Command Team led by Incident Commander Troy Mueller, assumed management of the Rafael Fire July 2 as crews continue with mop up, patrol and suppression efforts. The Rafael Fire is 91 percent contained after burning 78,065 acres in the Sycamore Canyon area south east of Williams. There are currently 281 fire personnel assigned to the fire. The Rafael Fire was discovered June 18 on the Prescott National Forest, the result of passing predominantly dry thunderstorms and lightning. The fire was located in a remote area approximately four miles north of Perkinsville. It had grown to 1,000 acres by the morning of June 20. At that time, the Arizona Central West Zone Type 3 Incident Management Team assumed management of the Rafael Fire. Strong winds on June 20, combined with dry fuels and favorable uphill topography in front of the fire, added nearly 18,000 acres for a total of 18,671 acres. The fire moved nine and a half miles on June 20 from the origin to above the Sycamore Canyon Rim onto the Kaibab National Forest and into the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Area. On June 21, the fire added another 5,500 acres to 24,191 acres, and burned actively in Tule Canyon within the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness. The fire continued to grow in Sycamore Canyon and on June 22 the fire continued to move east and crossed into the Coconino National Forest. Again, topography and dry fuels drove the fire approximately seven and a half miles on June 22 and by the morning of June 23, the fire had grown to 34, 949 acres. On the morning of June 24, the Southwest Area Type 1 Incident Management Team 2 led by Incident Commander Dave Bales assumed management of the fire. As of July 2, crews continued to patrol and mop up around the fire to secure the perimeter. Interior areas of the fire are expected to continue to burn and there may be smoke visible in these areas. The Burned Area Emergency Response team is in place and is continuing assessing burn severity over the entire fire. All communities affected by the fire were downgraded to “READY evacuation status. However, all areas within the Coconino, Kaibab, and Prescott National Forests remain closed to entry, regardless of evacuation status. More information about forest closures should be directed to each respective forests.

shoot, 90% of youngsters don't even carry a dollar. See them charging a candy bar, all the time. Plastic child's, which have progressed tto now swiping their phones . Apps do it all for them!

Looks like the south eastern part of unit 8 along the sycamore is gone. . Basically from the perkinsville rd . East to Sycamore point. 0 containment

Ammo or 300 savage?

Have they close all the lakes too?

Well see if yrs of forest thinning works, when it tops out of canyon and trys to run accross 6b.

Don't tell us , you tried roofing on a 115* Degree sunny day. Remember my first roofing job. New home 4th July weekend . My Dad, and sisters boyfriend. Removed the old asphalt PeeGravel roofing. And put down shingles by hand. That was my first and last roofing job.

Endeavor to persevere

How old is that remington,?

Try reata pass auction tomorrow. Pot o gold auction. Has a couple coming up

Good luck finding something up north. Market is crazy right now.

Perfect hatband size!

Aztroutman........ seems 90 % of your time on cwt since March had been trail camera posts or comments. Are you even a hunter? Seem to be a know it all about nothing!

Guess we wait and see. How many violations are actually ticketed. Im sure there will be some!

But I sold that property and taking all my cameras to wisc. I've used no trail camera in the taking of wildlife. Is it illegal to be in procession of a picture from a legal trail camera.. taken from a unit I hunt while I'm hunting. Kinda silly if that means I'm hunting illegally

I don't own or have a single camera out. I have a very good freind who loves nature and has numerous cameras , all over the unit I hunt. He's not a hunter but gladly shows me all the pictures from his cameras. He'll send me pictures and a text message telling me the locations. Lets say --- I'm lucky enough to tag this deer during my hunt. Am I in trouble under this new law, since I have a trail camera picture of him and I post it here . He's drinking from a tank.

Does the azgf really think they can enforce this law ? Guessin they hope the honor system among law-abiding hunters will prevail. Sure it will help to illiminate cameras on tanks. Especially in the units they know have problems with too many cameras. I'd wager less than 30 % of cameras out there are actually on a tank or water! Most of their logic seems to be towards lesser pressure of wildlife. This is B.S. but covers their butts.!

Not positive it was MH ,but had a gallon size of lasagna with meat. Sat up north at property trailer 10 yrs . In a shed 5 yrs. In out travel trailer 2. We just opened it last month. Surprised that it wasn't only edible but actually tastey! Finished it , no problem.

big 5 metro puts out ammo first thing every friday. Get in line early or get scraps. Never know where or how much or what kinda ammo a location puts out normally. The 22 shorts were a cool find at a great price.

Looked like the bear actually had snatched up the one dog. Just before girl shoved it. Its attention was on free meal.

Try going from 1400sq ft house that you lived in 43 yrs. to 450 sq.ft trailer.
