That’s the wrong location for the Canyon Fire.

Apparently a different fire denoted by the triangle, but if one uses the web site, zooms in and turns on the MODIS data, the fire location near Sierra Vista shows up.

A strategy is “hold the fire at the ridge tops and burn out below them,” she said.

As of 9PM Monday, the fire was on the ridgelines around the Brown Canyon/Ramsey Canyon bowl. I went out on the porch last night and saw 4 distinct areas along the ridges where flames were visible.

This morning, the amount of smoke appears to be less than yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, their encirclement strategy works. Otherwise, we'll have some fairly significant risk of damage to homes, people, and recreational areas. The Ramsey Canyon Preserve, home to a large migratory hummingbird population, will be in the path of the fire if it spills down into Ramsey Canyon.
