    Cornville Fire Under Control
    Cornville Fire Under Control

    A fire that broke out Sunday afternoon , June 13, burned across an estimated 1,000 acres of  brush and trees near residential areas in Cornville and sparked evacuations.

    So far, one structure has been destroyed.

    According to InciWeb, The eastern flank of the fire remained active overnight, but overall fire activity was minimal.

    Last night the fire moved into House Mountain, just northeast of the community of Cornville, and is currently burning away from populated areas.

    Firefighters were taken off the west and east sides of the fire Sunday night for safety concerns due to the rugged terrain the fire moved into. Two engines patrolled and monitored established fire line east of Page Springs Road throughout the night. 

    This morning, crews are back on the fire line and actively engaged on fire suppression efforts. The fire continues to move to the east/northeast with fire activity expected to increase as temperatures warm up. Extreme temperatures and dry winds, along with rugged terrain will challenge firefighters today. 

    Per YCSO, all evacuations have been lifted. Residents are encouraged to remain prepared and stay ready. Sign up for emergency alerts through your county emergency management office website. 

    Sedona is not at risk
     
    The Cornville Fire was reported around 1230pm on Sunday, east of the community of Cornville. The fire was being driven by windy conditions and dry fuels, such as grass, brush, and piñon juniper. 149 personnel are assigned to the fire, including engines, water tenders, a hand crew and aircraft.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
