At this time, no further ignition activities will occur unless there is a change in the weather and fuel conditions that effect fire behavior. Ignition operations on the Walla Valley Prescribed Burn began at approximately, 6:20 p.m., on the evening of Saturday, June 21. After assessing the behavior of a small test fire and finding it to be within acceptable parameters, fire crews began the burn by blacklining along the eastern flank of the burn unit in order to fully secure the perimeter of the fire. Once that perimeter was secure, a point source ignition technique would then be used within the burn unit in an effort to mimic the effects of summer lightning strikes. During this blacklining operation, spot fires began to occur and at greater distances than anticipated from the..."]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:00:00 -06:00</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA["Fire Management Officials Begin Walla Valley Presc (Walla Valley Fire Prescribed Fire)"]]></title><link>http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/1330/6921/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://inciweb.org/incident/news/article/1330/6921/</guid><description><![CDATA["Please, click on link at"]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:43:00 -06:00</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA["Smoke Impacts May be Possible on Highway 67 and In (Walla Valley Fire Prescribed Fire)"]]></title><link>http://inciweb.org/incident/announcements/article/1330/6925/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://inciweb.org/incident/announcements/article/1330/6925/</guid><description><![CDATA["Smoke impacts may be possible on Highway 67 and in the North Rim developed area. Since smoke settles when the air temperature cools and lifts during daylight hours when the air temperature warms, smoke impacts may also occur along the Colorado River and in the inner canyon at night and during the early morning hours. The park has worked closely with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to ensure that smoke from the burn will not exceed acceptable levels.During the burn, smoke columns will be visible for several weeks, but will be most visible during the first ten days of the project as the ignition points burn towards each other. After the ignition points have burned into each other, the smoke will become less noticeable."]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 18:21:00 -06:00</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA["The Non-paved W4 and W1 Roads to Point Sublime Are (Walla Valley Fire Prescribed Fire)"]]></title><link>http://inciweb.org/incident/announcements/article/1330/6924/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://inciweb.org/incident/announcements/article/1330/6924/</guid><description><![CDATA["Sections of the W4 and W1 roads to Point Sublime will be closed for about three weeks during the burn in order to assure visitor and firefighter safety.
