Tanner Fire 80% Contained, Highway 288 Re-Opened

Pleasant Valley Ranger District fire specialists are managing the lightning-caused Tanner wildfire, about 19 miles south of Young. The fire has burned about 5,500 acres and is 80% contained.

Highway 288 is now open. The highway was closed last week from McFadden south to the A-Cross Road due to fire conditions.

Forest and ADOT officials are asking the public to drive with caution on that stretch of Highway 288. ADOT crews are performing maintenance and firefighters are cleaning up debris from the fire.
