Final Managed Fire Update
Globe Ranger District has released its final update on its two managed fires. The 650 fire in the Superstition Mountains is about 3,800 acres in size and is showing very little activity. Management ignitions continue on the Frio fire to protect power lines. The Frio fire in the Pinal Mountains has burned around 2,300 acres.
Rain is projected for the next seven days along with cooler temperatures and higher humidity. Fire specialists predict very little further activity on these fires. With reduced fire activity, smoke impacts will be lessened considerably.
Globe Ranger District thanks the community for its support and understanding. Ranger Rick Reitz says there are now 6,000 fewer acres of hazardous fuels to feed a local catstrophic wildfire.

Forest Officials Say No Threat of Agent Orange
Tonto National Forest officials say that smoke from the managed fire in the Pinal Mountains is not carrying Agent Orange.
Spokesman David Albo told 3TV in Phoenix that they did use the chemical in the 1960’s, but it is not a threat today. Tests in the 1970’s showed minimal risk and tests in the 1990’s showed no risk.
The forest office has been flooded with calls complaining about smoke. Albo says they know it’s inconvenient for residents irritated by the smoke, but the trade-off is not having a catastrophic wildfire threatening local communities sometime in the future.

Visitors Fee Angers Prison Reform Groups
The Arizona Department of Corrections is now charging a $25 fee for adults who want to visit inmates at its 15 prison complexes.
The New York Times reports that the one-time “background check fee” has angered prisoner advocay groups and family members of inmates. Many families already have the expense of traveling long distances to the remote areas where many of the prisons are located.
Critics say that the fee could have a negative effect on public safety by discouraging family visits. They say continuing family contact is one of the best ways to encourage prisoners to go straight when they get out of prison.
The money raised by the fee is supposed to go to repair and maintain the prisons. But a lawsuit filed against the Corrections Department by a Tempe prison reform group claims that the fee is a pretext for raising money “for general public purposes” in a time of severe budget cuts. They say this is unconstitutional because it amounts to a special tax on a single group.

Wildfire Smoke Precautions
Smoke from the Frio fire continues to cause concern among Globe-Miami residents. The Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services says that wildfires can cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system, and worsen chronic heart and lung diseases.
Protect yourself by limiting smoke exposure. Stay indoors as much as possible. Air conditioners have filters that help minimze smoke particles. If you use evaporative cooling, minimize the effects of smoke by closing air intake vents. Call your doctor if you have severe reaction to smoke exposure.
Local fire officials say that smoke levels should dramatically reduce in a couple of days.
Event information and updates are posted on the Gila County Emergency Hotline. Dial 402-8888 locally or 1-800-304-4452 extension 8888.

Fire Update
Globe Ranger District fire specialists continue to manage two lightning-caused wildfires. The Frio fire in the Pinal Mountains has burned 2,100 acres.
The 650 fire north of Superior in the Superstition Mountains has burned 3,800 acres.
The current monsoon humidity makes it possible to allow lightning-caused fires to play their natural role in the ecosystem.
