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.
If anything […]
We’re going home!

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.

The updates have slowed down because the fire has slowed down.
Having just heard from the Incident Management Team liaison, today went very well.
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 […]
You need to know:
Firefighters made excellent progress overnight burning out an area near the northwest corner of Big Bug Mesa, east of Breezy Pines.
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.
