episode_narrativeThe Boundary Fire was caused by lightning on June 1 near the boundary of the Coconino National Forest and the Kaibab National Forest on the northeast side of Kendrick Peak in Kendrick Mountain Wilderness. This fire burned until July July 12, 2017. The Pumpkin Fire (2000) was in this same area which left significant dead and down trees and forest debris. Snags (standing dead trees), steep slopes, and overall hazardous terrain led fire officials to use a much safer indirect approach to fight this fire. They let the fire burn to a system of roads at the base of the mountain.
event_narrativeThe Boundary Fire burned through 17,788 acres in the Kendrick Mountain Wilderness. This was a lightning caused fire. An indirect suppression strategy was implemented due to the significant safety concerns of putting fire personnel in certain areas on the mountain. Structures near the top of the mountain (including a fire lookout tower and an historic cabin) were successfully saved. The fire burned through timber and litter in understory, short grass, and heavy logging slash. There was also heavy down and dead debris from Pumpkin Fire in 2000.
