Looks like we are good to go. The fire is near 100% containment and FS 41 is reopened. Looking forward to Saturday!
The River Fire, burning north of Cave Creek, reached 7,900 acres, and fire crews were able to keep it from growing larger by burning out from Forest Roads 17 and 41 (Table Mesa Road). Higher humidity aided firefighters, even though the area didn’t receive any measurable rain. Forest Road 41 is open to the public. Firefighters will continue to patrol firelines, so please slow down when driving in the area, and be alert for potential flash flooding if thunderstorms appear on the horizon.
