Summary

[edit]
Description
English: File photo: Smoke drifting into Grand Canyon during a 2012 prescribed fire. The view is from Hermit Road, between Second Trail View and Maricopa Point. NPS/M.Quinn

During a prescribed burn, smoke may be visible from various locations on the North and South rims, including Grand Canyon Village, Tusayan, Desert View, and most overlooks. Fire managers work with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality-Smoke Management Division to reduce and mitigate potential smoke impacts.

Prescribed fires play an important role in decreasing risks to life, resources, and property. Fire managers carefully plan prescribed fires, initiating them only under environmental conditions that are favorable to assuring firefighter and visitor safety and to achieving the desired objectives. Prescribed fire objectives include reducing accumulations of hazard fuels, maintaining the natural role of fire in a fire-adapted ecosystem, and protection of sensitive

natural and cultural resources.
