I thought that some of you may be interested in some pictures of the Warm fire that hit the Kaibab about a month ago. It started June 8th and was almost out by the end of the month. There were some areas that certainly burned hot and the fire did some real damage, but over all I think it was a helpful fire to wildlife habitat. The fire burned about 20,000 acres in the first 18 days then it burned another 40,000 acres in the last 3 days of the fire for a total of 60,000. It really took off before the rains came and put it out.
Below are some photos from the fire area.
Aspens still looking pretty good.
Major pond damage from ash.
High water mark, from the ash
Valley full of ash
More pond damage
One thing that I didn't get a picture of is the green grass that is already coming up in some of the burn that is already 4" high from the recent rains. Don't get me wrong there are areas that were hit hard but over all I think this was a fire worth leting burn.
