    Sedona News (June 28, 2021) As of June 28, more than 77,300 acres have burned by the Rafael Fire with no lives lost or damage to structures, according to Inciweb, Incident Information System.

    Containment stands at 48 percent

    Today on the north side of the fire, crews will be heavily engaged in securing the fire by patrol and mop up activities. 

    All perimeter firing operations are substantially complete, but smoke from burning interior fuels will continue for a few days. 

    Today smoke is expected in the Verde Valley into Prescott and as winds shift later in the day into the Williams area. 

    Heavy smoke may settle into canyon bottoms and low elevation communities in the Verde Valley over the next few nights. Smoke forecasts are available at Wildfire Smoke Forecast | ADEQ Arizona Department of Environmental Quality     (azdeq.gov)and https://fires.airfire.org/outlooks/NorthCentralArizona.   

    On the south side of the fire, aircraft will monitor the perimeter to determine if suppression action is necessary and structure protection specialists will continue monitoring values at risk to prevent damage.

    Firefighters are prepared for initial attack over the next few days as the probability of thunder storms and lightning increases.

    As containment increases some crews and equipment are no longer needed and will be released for reassignment or rest and recuperation.

    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.
