    logo_USFS_USDACamp Verde AZ (June 1, 2019) – Fire managers with the Mogollon Rim Ranger District are evaluating whether or not a recent lightning-caused wildfire above Mogollon Rim would be beneficial to the area by allowing it to burn and consume dense forest fuels.

    The Coldwater Fire, discovered Thursday morning, is approximately 40 acres and about 4 miles directly south of Clints Well, near Coldwater spring. The fire poses no danger or threat to any residents or structures, but it is producing smoke visible to motorists along state Route 87 and recreationists in the area.

    Forest Service personnel are placing signs and canvassing the area for campers to notify them of the wildfire and source of the smoke.

    Fire managers are currently monitoring the Coldwater Fire but may decide to use the fire in the same way the Maroon Fire has been used—allowing it to move across the landscape and create buffers that could help protect homes and vital infrastructure from possible future severe wildfires, as well as benefit the ecosystem by removing forest fuels and revitalizing the soil.

    Smoke will impact the surrounding area, which includes Clints Well, state Route 87, and the Mogollon Rim area near the fire. Updates about the Coldwater Fire will be posted on Inciweb at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6363/.

    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.
