Boulder View Fire (AZA4S)

Wildfire Status:

As of July 10, the Boulder View Fire, located in the Sonoran Desert east of Carefree, Arizona, has reached 99% containment after burning through 3,711 acres. The fire was initially reported on June 27, and since then, fire crews have been actively engaged in full suppression efforts. The management of the incident has transitioned from the Central West Zone Type 3 Incident Management team back to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. Currently, only a single engine crew remains on-site to monitor and suppress any lingering hot spots, particularly along the southeast flank and around structures. All previous alerts for the area have been lifted, though residents are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to any guidance from emergency personnel.

The fire has shown minimal activity recently, with only smoldering vegetation within its established perimeter. Firefighters continue to patrol the affected area and are prepared for any potential flare-ups. The current weather conditions pose challenges, as hot and windy conditions persist, with temperatures reaching the 100s and low humidity levels during the day. These factors could contribute to the potential for flare-ups, but no new growth of the fire is expected at this time.

Fire officials are optimistic about full containment, with an estimated date set for July 18. Communities surrounding the fire are still in a READY status, ensuring preparedness in case of any sudden changes in fire behavior. The ongoing efforts by fire crews highlight the dedication to managing the situation and protecting the local environment and residents.
