Fire personnel from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests responded to the Campbell Fire located southwest of Alpine, Arizona, on the Campbell Flat, near Campbell Blue Creek, west of Hwy 191. The fire is currently burning in the Wallow Fire burn scar, and in the Campbell Prescribed Fire planning area.
The lightning caused fire was first observed on July 10 and local Forest Service fire crews, along with a crew from Stray Horse, the Bear Divide Hotshots, Round Valley Helitack, and Air Attack, responded. A fire dozer has been ordered, along with a Type-1 Helicopter. A strategy of full suppression is being employed, using existing containment features, primarily roads.
After July 19, 2023, the White Mountain Zone Type 3 Team will not update this page unless conditions change.

A shift n the high is bringing a decrease in coverage of said activity, but the pattern once again becomes favorable for more widespread showers and storms starting Friday and into the weekend. That said, RHs are dropping today into Thursday but they'll start to rebound with the return of moisture Friday. Winds will generally stay SW in the afternoons at 5-10 mph but outflows from thunderstorms will result in gusty and erratic winds. |
