Mt Lemmon fire?

[desertmafia21]

I can see quite a bit of smoke coming from what looks like the backside. Anyone have info on this fire?

Probably the smoke from the one burning on the east side of unit32

Quite possibly the Oak fire which they have neen monitoring and not attempting to put out. Monitoring involves an assigned crew keeping tabs on the fire to insure no structures are threatened.

Yep, its the Oak Fire in.near the Galliuros. I'm good friends with the FS biologist and she's been sending good updates. No structures are threatened at this time and the FS is allowing it to burn for resource benefit. From all of the reports I've seen, its a good cleansing burn that should result in some good deer hunting after the rains hit that area! And if any critical habitat (from an ESA standpoint) is in the path of the fire, the FS can easily let the fire burn through it and help improve it. Presence of CH is not a reason to stop a fire's progression. I've worked many fires in CH and I've worked with NPS, FS, and BLM on fires burning in critical habitat. Really no big deal.

Thanks for continuing to keep everyone honest on the use of the term "critical habitat." :-)

My pleasure. Its great being able to talk to you guys about it all. This is nothing compared to the congressional inquires I've had to deal with because a politician somewhere created a major stink...all because he/she didn't know what they were talking about (imagine that)!
