Wildfire Status:

The Brady Fire, which ignited on February 10, 2025, is currently active and has burned an estimated 363 acres near Mayer, Arizona, specifically west of the community of Pine Flats. As of the latest reports, approximately 49% of the fire's perimeter has been contained, and the fire's behavior is described as minimal, featuring backing and creeping flames. Accurate mapping has resulted in a reduction of the initially reported fire size. Smoke may be visible from surrounding communities due to the dry fuels in the area.

Fire response efforts are ongoing, with a total of 83 personnel currently engaged in firefighting operations. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office has taken precautionary measures by closing County Road 177, which leads into Pine Flat, to ensure the safety of both firefighters and local residents. It is advised that individuals avoid the vicinity of the fire to allow for effective firefighting and emergency management.

Weather conditions are currently favorable for firefighting efforts, with mostly cloudy skies and an 80% chance of precipitation expected throughout the day. Snow showers are anticipated in the morning, transitioning to rain as the storm system progresses through the fire area. The snow level is projected to rise from 4500 feet to 7500 feet later in the day, which may further mitigate fire activity. Looking ahead, minimal spread is expected over the next 24 to 48 hours due to the impending precipitation, with a projected containment date set for March 7, 2025.
