The Transition of Command back to the local unit occurred at 0600 today.

This will be the last update unless significant activity occurs.

Highlights:  After an intense and concentrated effort over the last week, the Toyo fire activity has reached the point that it’s time to transition the management of the fire back to the local unit. The majority of resources will be returning to their home units today. 

Southwest Team 1 has appreciated the support of the communities, the Tribal Council, and the San Carlos Agency. Wildfire suppression “takes a village”, and this village has been great to be a part of our success.

Fire Activity:  Wednesday crews continued monitoring and mopping up where needed. Areas of concern have been identified and will continue to be monitored by the remaining firefighters. Wind patterns and dry conditions remain a factor with the possibility of new starts being high.

Weather: Slightly cooler temperatures today with some clouds in the afternoon. Wind is sw 2-15 mph, and afternoon gusts are predicted up to 23 mph. 

Smoke: Smoke is expected to be minimal today.

Closures/ Evacuations: No road closures are currently in effect and all evacuation levels have been lifted.

Fire Restrictions: The region's vegetation continues to dry out as the heat increases and humidity drops. Fire activity has been increasing.  Please stay “Fire Aware”  both around your property and your vehicles.
