    Sedona News – UPDATE – The Wilson Fire, located above the Mogollon Rim 2.5 miles north of Sedona, is 100% contained at 1.8 acres.

    Two engines remain on scene and though the fire is fully contained, crews will spend the day looking for and extinguishing hot spots near the containment lines–working toward full control.

    A fire is considered “contained” when firefighters are confident the line around the perimenter of a fire will prevent the fire from spreading any further. The line is mostly constructed by firefighters using tools to dig down to unburnable mineral soil and can include other barriers, such as roads.

    A fire is considered “controlled” when it has no chance of expanding in any way due to the line being strengthened to the point that flare-ups from within the perimeter of the fire cannot break through the line.

    Crews will perform helicopter bucket drops throughout the day to work toward full control and eventually to the point of the fire being completely out.

    The fire originated on a flat mesa located within the 2006 Brins Fire burn scar and was reported at 1:30 a.m. on Monday by a pilot flying over the area. It’s cause remains under investigation.

    Sedona News – UPDATE – The Wilson Fire, located 2.5 miles north of downtown Sedona (34°55’42.0″N 111°45’54.0″W), is now at a quarter-acre and 50 percent containment.

    There’s been no change in fire behavior since the fire was first reported at 1:30 a.m. today. The fire continues to minimally creep and smolder on a flat mesa in the Brins Fire (2006) burn scar.

    The fire’s spread potential is low due to light southwest winds.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
