August 14, 2023 7 PM - Little Mesa Fire Update

Little Mesa Fire
Publication Type: News 08/15/2023

Today, firefighters cleaned up pockets of unburned vegetation on mesa tops from Black Point to Dry Mesa. As predicted the southern end of the Little Mesa Fire received low to moderate rain this afternoon, but rain did not make it to the northern end. Resource advisors are creating a plan for suppression repair, a post-fire effort to return fire line and other impacts of fire suppression to their pre-fire state. Smoke in the valley bottoms is due to weather pushing smoke down and east from the Little Mesa Fire. We recommend sensitive folks to stay indoors and utilize air filters.
