The Flag Fire in the Hualapai Mountains is still reported at 1,400 acres and zero percent contained, with Caleb Finch of Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1 saying additional resources are moving in as the threat from the fire remains.
Finch, who runs planning operations for the incident management team, said in a video posted to the Bureau of Land Management – Arizona Facebook page that the Flag Fire “continues to stay in its current footprint,” thanks to the efforts of the Central West Zone Type 3 Team and .63 inches of precipitation received over the last few days. Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1 took command of the fire from the Type 3 Team on Wednesday, April 28.
“There’s still a threat out there,” Finch said. “We’re still getting resources inserted into the (four) divisions to construct line and mop up and secure the fire’s edge.
