A fire that broke out Monday at about 1 p.m. MST burned 300 acres in Prescott Valley along highway 89A seven miles north of Prescott, Arizona.
Approximately 50 firefighters battling the blaze during strong winds were able to stop the spread within a couple of hours as it burned near Glassford Hill.
One lane of highway 89A was closed for a while, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
And we’re off and running in the 2019 season. Be careful, all, and come back safely after shift is done, OK?
I believe the resources for the fire were State and local fire departments. I have not heard any were from the Prescott NF or BLM.
State or feds?
Well, is it out yet ?
50 firefighters for a 300 acre fire …
They must be a bunch of bad asses !
