Small Fire Burning on Rincon Peak

Post by Jeffshadows »

There's a small, lightning-caused fire burning on Rincon Peak. Teams are en route so folks headed that way might want to divert or skip it, entirely.

That was the assessment of the resources folks, as well. That area is STUFFED with understory and dead fall. Unfortunately, the plan was to suppress it until they overflew and couldn't find any further indication of it...

Except the Rincons have one of the best fire return intervals of the Sky Islands, and could use another lower to moderate intensity fire over the 6500' level.
