    Flagstaff AZ (December 27, 2011) – Flagstaff Area National Monuments has received permission to start pile burning at Sunset Crater Volcano this morning and will continue throughout the afternoon as favorable weather conditions continue. The debris piles are located behind the housing area off a private dirt road.  The piles were constructed during manual fuels reduction projects in preparation for future prescribed burns. They consist of small tree branches, twigs, and needles removed during preparation of prescribed fire control lines. Pile burning is a necessary preparation for prescribed burning. The piles will be monitored by firefighters until they are completely out.

    A test pile will be burned approximately two miles northeast of Wupatki National Monument in Deadman Wash tomorrow, December 28. If successful, a smoke permit will be sought for Thursday, December 29. If weather conditions are favorable, burning will begin and continue throughout the remainder of the week. If the burn prescription cannot be fulfilled, burning will be continued at a later date.

    Park visitors may see or smell smoke in the vicinity of the piles. Signs are posted advising visitors and motorists of possible smoke along impacted travel corridors. Coordination with the Department of environmental Quality is underway to ensure that smoke impacts are minimized.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
