    Recent forest fire reminds visitors of dry conditions and to be careful

    Flagstaff AZ (November 21, 2012) – A human-caused forest fire began about noon yesterday in Kendrick Park off of Highway 180 north of Flagstaff and spread to 47 acres before firefighters contained the fire last night.

    The Buffalo Fire started from an individual dumping hot ashes from a woodstove in the forest, and the dry conditions coupled with wind help spread the fire quickly.

    Two other small fires were reported yesterday afternoon off of North Highway 89 near Antelope Hills, but were quickly contained by firefighters.

    “Even though fire danger is currently in the moderate stage, conditions are still very dry and fires from embers or abandoned campfires can easily start a wildfire,” said Don Muise, acting Fire Staff Officer for the Coconino National Forest. “There is no precipitation on the horizon in the next week, and with Thanksgiving and the holidays ahead, we remind people to be careful with their campfires and make sure their fire and ashes are extinguished until they are cold and you can touch them.”

    The Buffalo Fire will continue to smolder over the next day or two and smoke may be visible to residents near Kendrick Park and Flagstaff.

    Visitors and residents can help the Forest Service and firefighters by calling 911 if they see smoke or a wildfire and describing as specifically as possible what has been observed and exactly where the smoke or fire was observed.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
