Here’s a look at today’s headlines:

There was minimal growth on the Moore Fire on the Wilderness Ranger District Sunday. The lighting-caused fire is located seven miles east of Gila Hot Springs and estimated at 1,000 acres.  A new fire was detected Friday two miles northwest of the Moore Fire. The Middle Fire is reported 100 acres and will be managed along with the Moore Fire. The Pinon Fire was more noticeable Saturday as it grew to 1,600 acres on the Reserve Ranger District. The lightning-caused fire is being managed to achieve multiple resource objectives such as protecting livestock forage and improving wildlife habitat.  Smoke production may increase at times and settle in communities during the management of these fires. Smoke from a large fire in Arizona may also contribute to the overall accumulation of smoke over our communities. Using visibility and staying indoors when it is smoky outside is a way to protect your health.
