    FlagstaffAZ (December 12, 2011) – Pending favorable conditions, the Coconino National Forest and Arizona State Forestry (agencies in the Ponderosa Fire Advisory Council) are planning to conduct prescribed pile burns tomorrow, Tuesday December 13.

    Arizona State Forestry
    Contact: Bruce Banke, 928-774-1425
    Arizona State Forestry will be burning approximately 80 acres of slash piles located north of Hwy 89A and MCS Stables, west of Ft. Tuthill. The forecast snowstorm and winds will minimize smoke impacts on Flagstaff.

    For additional information, contact Arizona State Forestry at 928-774-1425.

    Coconino National Forest
    Contact: Brienne Magee, 928-527-8290
    Mogollon Rim Miscellaneous Piles: 10 acres located just east of the community of Blue Ridge, east of Hwy 87. Smoke will disperse to the north with little to no overnight smoke production.

    Peaks Miscellaneous Piles: 10 acres located at the Flagstaff Hotshot Ranch north of Flagstaff, east of Hwy 180 off Snowbowl Road. Smoke will be noticeable from Hwy 180 and Snowbowl road and will disperse to the northeast. Some residual smoke will settle in the area overnight.

    Additional Coconino National Forest prescribed fire information can be obtained by the following means.

    Fire managers make every effort to minimize smoke impacts to the communities while continuing to address the critical need to reduce the risk of severe wildfires around those communities. Tactics to keep smoke impacts as minimal as possible include cancelling burns when conditions aren’t favorable, finding alternative uses for the debris in slash piles, timing ignitions to allow the majority of smoke time to disperse prior to settling overnight, and burning larger sections at a time when conditions are favorable to reduce the overall number of days smoke is in the area.

    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→
