This was one of the more distressing sights of my 15 years in the Flagstaff Area. And, I believe it was totally preventable.

The Arizona Daily Sun reported on a grass roots campaign to ban fires in the Coconino National Forest from May 1 until the monsoon rains begin in the summer. Who hasn’t had this thought?

On Monday, as we enjoy the spring winds whipping up the area. Give it some thought.

I think we will only see winds on Monday, may be a light shower or snow shower.
