Tonto National Forest and AZ State Forestry Fire Crews

Feed Notes

Lookouts on the forest : Humboldt, MT Ord, Azteck, Dimond Point, Signal Peak, Mc farland and Colcord

All Forest fire units

All Forest Rangers the rangers all have a 10 in their ID's such as 110, 210,310,410

I added MCSO Lake Patrol because the MCSO helps patrol the camp grounds and water ways. This frequency also is used for the Forest Rangers and MCSO to comminicate with each other. This frequency is also used for MCSO doing River patrols in their boat. This is a very very busy weekend in the forest.

The Forest also is very dry so small fires are accuring daily.

All lookouts sign on at 8:45 if not before they give a quick weather when they sign on. Also weather is given out around 10:00 am  with an all call!!

The forest had 3 fires yesterday the biggest at 5 acreas. The fuels are very dry for this time of the year. A simple spark will start a fire. The forest has brought in engines as far away as Montana to assist on any fires due to the dryness. No rain in the 10 day forecast but very warm temps rhs as low as single number , the dew points in the negative range.The fuels are dryer then the yr 2002 when major fires burned through out the state.
