My son lives in Flagstaff and has sent pictures of the smoke. Said it was raining black ashes on the pool, and the smoke is thick in the air. My prayers are with all of the firefighters.

Sedona saw zero smoke today, its been clear and clean all day. We did have a small amount of smoke this morning from the lack of winds over night. By 10am it was clear! The fire is far north of the city of Sedona.

This is NOT a controlled burn. http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=10620

The winds appear to be directly from the west today, so Sedona is going to buried in smoke all day.

In Sedona Uptown at 7:30 a.m. at wildflower restaurant thew smoke is so thick I can’t see Snoopy rock a quarter mile east!

This is a “controlled burn”, (the wind controls) it and not much else. Thanks to Fire Fighters who risk life and take on heat and more heat!
