Spring Fire (AZTNF)

Wildfire Status:

The Spring Fire, which began on June 1, 2024, is currently located east of State Route 87 on Forest Service Road 11 in the Mesa Ranger District. The fire has burned approximately 4,097 acres and is reported to be 100% contained. Firefighting efforts included numerous resources engaged in suppression operations, with aerial support providing water and retardant drops. The fire is visible from State Route 87, and the incident is being managed by the Mesa District Type 4 Incident Commander.

Despite the fire's containment status, weather conditions remain a concern. The region is experiencing extremely hot temperatures, reaching into the triple digits during the day, with relative humidity levels dropping into the single digits. Nighttime conditions offer low to moderate humidity recovery, which can exacerbate fire risks. As a precaution, fire agencies are focused on monitoring the area and mopping up any accessible hot spots to ensure that the fire does not reignite.

Moving forward, the focus will remain on monitoring the situation and managing any residual heat within the fire perimeter. The current outlook indicates minimal fire activity, yet the ongoing hot and dry weather conditions necessitate vigilance from firefighting teams to prevent any potential flare-ups. For real-time updates and changes regarding the situation, residents and travelers are encouraged to follow the Arizona Department of Transportation’s announcements.
