Juniper (AZPHD)

Wildfire Status:

The Juniper wildfire, currently active in Yavapai County, Arizona, has burned approximately 75 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands, situated about 7 miles west of Black Canyon City. As of July 3, 2025, the fire was reported to have no personnel actively deployed on site, but a transition in management is underway as the Central West Zone Type 3 Incident Management Team is set to assume command.

The Incident Commander from the Bureau of Land Management is overseeing the situation, and ongoing assessments will be crucial as conditions evolve.

Fire agencies are preparing to address the fire's growth and the difficult terrain.
