    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.

    Sedona, AZ — A cottage industry on steroids has erupted across the United States, fueled by the political firestorm around immigration and the logistical nightmare of enforcing it. President Donald Trump returned to power with the singular focus of cracking down on illegal immigration. The country is watching an old issue swell into an industrial-scale operation—an expensive, chaotic, and morally fraught machine that’s straining every gear in the federal system.
