Pocket Fire is the largest active wildfire in Arizona, burning 4 miles north of Sedona and has spread southwest.

Latest update

The Pocket Fire started on June 19, 2026, approximately 7 miles north of Sedona, Arizona. The cause of the fire is underdetermined.  The fire continues to back and flank through numerous large, steep canyons north of Sedona and along the State Highway 89A corridor. Steep terrain and the extensive canyon system continue to present operational challenges, with rolling material creating a significant risk of fire spread below the main fire edge.

Current fire behavior is characterized by backing and flanking fire with short uphill runs occurring where fire aligns with slope reversals or where rolling material ignites receptive fuels. Critically dry fuels remain highly susceptible to ignition, allowing for continued fire spread under favorable conditions.
