Juniper Fire (AZPHD)

Wildfire Status:

The Juniper Fire, currently active in Yavapai County, Arizona, has burned approximately 600 acres since it ignited on July 2, 2025. Located about 7 miles northwest of Black Canyon City on Bureau of Land Management lands, the fire is situated in steep and rugged terrain, which presents significant challenges for firefighting efforts. As of July 3, 2025, the Central West Zone Type 3 Incident Management Team is set to take command of the situation.

A total of 36 personnel are currently on the ground working to manage and suppress the fire. The fuels involved include timber, grass, and brush, which contribute to the fire's spread. Despite the ongoing efforts, the rugged access to the fire area complicates firefighting operations.

Weather conditions are a crucial factor influencing the situation, with concerns about thunderstorms, strong winds, and potential flooding which may hinder firefighting efforts and increase the fire's intensity. The response from fire agencies will need to adapt to these dynamic weather conditions as they work to contain the fire.
