Pocket Fire Moves as Planned

The Pocket Fire near Sedona has grown to over 1,100 acres but is moving exactly where fire crews planned—away from town, west into previously burned terrain. With 900 firefighters on scene, containment remains at zero percent due to rugged terrain, but strategy is working: the fire is being guided into a natural “catcher’s mitt” of burnout zones to keep it northwest of Sedona and away from Oak Creek Canyon. Crews are reinforcing fire lines north and south as a safety net, and officials say the plan is progressing well—though more smoke is expected with incoming wind days. Fire managers urge extreme caution to prevent new ignitions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
