Crews start fuel-break project off Townsend-Winona Road
Crews from the Coconino National Forest and Flagstaff, Summit, Highland and Pinewood fire departments are creating a fuel break around the neighborhoods at the southwest corner of Townsend-Winona Road and Cosnino Road.
Vegetation in the area and northern Arizona's prevailing winds blowing from the southwest create a unique fire threat for the neighborhood. Crews will clear dense vegetation to create a fuel break to reduce fire risk. The project is a component of the forest's Eastside Fuels Reduction Project. It calls for crews to clear the vegetation from a 300-foot strip of land adjacent to the private property.
Crews began work Wednesday and will continue intermittently throughout the next few months.
