KINGMAN, Ariz. –The White Fire, burning 6 miles north of Kingman, has turned over to an entirely local Incident Management Team. One local engine and a Type 3 Helicopter remain to continue suppression on any hot spots that develop. Very little activity has been seen in the last two days.
Warm and dry conditions persist and are expected to continue into the weekend. Fire restrictions are still in effect across most BLM-managed lands in Arizona, as well as on many other state and federal lands.
Although the area is open for public travel, please exercise extreme caution in the area as fire personnel are still working on the White Fire.
