Current pile burning activity will also be highlighted on this main page in the "Highlighted Activity" section. For seasonal press releases, please visit the "News" section. Sign up to receive a weekly email newsletter about pile burning projects in your area (select Forest Health and Fire for your zone).  Have questions? See our Pile Burning FAQ or email ARPFireInfo@usda.gov. What is pile burning?Pile burning is a type of prescribed fire that helps remove woody debris from the forests, reducing the potential of more impactful, unplanned fire activity at other times of the year. Pile burning helps eliminate branches, limbs, twigs and small logs that can't easily be removed through other means due to topography, access or cost feasibility. Pile burning typically follows forest thinning projects in overgrown forests. If heavy machinery was used to conduct the thinning, the piles may be much larger than if thinning and piling was completed by hand using chainsaws. Before burning piles, fire managers track hyper-localized weather forecasts to check temperatures, snowpack conditions and wind. Snow and cooler temperatures are key tools in helping contain fire behavior while wind is an important factor in aiding smoke dispersal. Firefighters use air quality monitoring stations in areas where they plan on burning.Smoke, flames, and glowing embers are often visible, and are a normal part of pile burning operations. Mild fire behavior between piles is expected and is also beneficial for future wildfire risk reduction. This can include forest litter between piles and lower limbs of trees.  Once burning has begun, firefighters patrol and monitor burned piles until there is no longer any heat emitted. This work is part of the National Wildfire Crisis Strategy effort to reduce the impacts of unplanned, large-scale fires on watersheds, wildlife habitat, recreation and communities. Fire is a natural and important part of a healthy Colorado ecosystem. With help from the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative and our community partners, prescribed fire on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and adjacent public and private lands is helping prepare our forests for unplanned fire when it happens.  Learn more:To view all prescribed fire projects across the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, check out our new interactive map. Zoom into the location you are interested in, click on a prescribed burn unit and learn more about its status. Fire managers work with the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division to reduce the impacts of smoke on the public.

Last updated: 2025-01-17 --- The type of incident is Wildfire and involves the following unit(s) Tonto National Forest. --- State: Arizona --- Coordinates: Latitude: 34° 22 15.6 Longitude: 111° 03 32.4 --- NOTE: All fire perimeters and points are approximations. --- Incident Overview: The Horton Fire started the Tonto National Forest in the area of Promontory Point on the Mogollon Rim and spread to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest on the evening of Saturday, December 14, 2025. Tonto National Forest-Payson Ranger District firefighters were first on-scene. As local resources continued responding, an ad hoc Type 3 team was assembled and stood up by Monday, December 16, 2025.  During the first week of response, the air and ground resources available for this incident were actively engaged in suppressing the wildfire and holding constructed containment lines on Promontory Butte; within Horton Creek drainage, east of the community of Tonto Creek Estates; and above See Canyon, northwest of Christopher Creek.   Fire activity initially occurred primarily within the notably steep and rugged terrain on the Mogollon Rim. Due to these unique terrain conditions, which present hazardous conditions and extended extrication times of up to 6 hours, direct attack capabilities for firefighters has been limited.  As the complexity of the incident increased, a Complex Incident Management Team was ordered and Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1 arrived on-scene and took management of the fire on Monday, December 30, 2025.   The Horton Fire has been determined as human-caused fire and is still under investigation. The primary fuels carrying this fire are timber, chaparral, dry grasses and understory shrubs.  A Forest closure order is in effect to protect public health and safety during the Horton Fire as well as protecting firefighting personnel engaging in wildland firefighting operations.  A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR 5/1983) is in place for the Horton Fire through January 31, 2025.   The communities of Christopher Creek, Hunter Creek, R-C Scout Camp, Tonto Creek Estates, Tonto Christian Camp, Tonto Fish Hatchery, Kohls Ranch, and Zane Grey Cabins are in SET evacuation status. Surrounding roadways and State Route 260 may experience localized impacts due to the Horton Fire including reduced visibility due to smoke. Travelers should monitor roadway status and conditions via AZ Department of Transportation.  Fire-specific questions for the Horton Fire can be directed to incident Information Officers via email at 2024.horton@firenet.gov or by calling 602-551-7327.
