It’s a Happy Day today!
I was informed by a reliable source that the sheriff will be lifting the Walker evacuation for Walker proper (and I’m assuming beyond, such as Potato Patch, etc) at 9:45AM this morning. The sheriff will be re-locating the road block to Big Bug Mesa Rd.

We don’t yet know the time, but evacuations will be lifted today.
It won’t take until dinner time but could be a little while longer.
Watch social media from County emergency management and the sheriff.
Being early wouldn’t be a good idea. Thank you for everything.
Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher said those evacuations could be lifted on Monday.

There was a lot of white smoke (that is usually the good kind) this afternoon visible from Walker today that dissipated some, but not completely, as the afternoon wore […]

The burnout operation is expected to be complete today.
Additional fire retardant has been applied on this section of the fire to help reinforce the perimeter.
Patrolling, mopup and fireline […]
This is up until 2:30am on July 2. I’m guessing the last frame is backfires.
