Wildfires Leave Lasting Risks—Know What to Do After the Flames 🏠🔥
When the fire is out, the danger isn't necessarily over. Recovery is a process that requires caution and patience. If you’ve been evacuated, follow these essential steps to stay safe during the aftermath:

📱 Connect Safely: Use text messages or social media to let loved ones know you’re safe. This keeps phone lines open for emergency responders.

🏠 Wait for the Green Light: Never return home until local authorities officially declare the area safe. Hazards like downed power lines, unstable trees, or smoldering hotspots may still be present.

🚰 Check Your Water: Fire can damage utility lines and private wells. Confirm with local officials that your water is safe to drink before using it.

😷 Clean with Caution: When cleaning up ash, wear a mask and gloves to avoid skin irritation or inhaling fine particles. Dampen ash lightly to keep it from blowing into the air.

🌧️ Watch the Skies: Did you know the risk of Flash Flooding remains high for several years after a wildfire? "Burn scars" can’t absorb water, meaning even a light rain can trigger a dangerous debris flow.

Recovery takes time, but you don't have to do it alone. Stay informed and look out for your neighbors as we rebuild together. 🛡️🌵

🚩Red Flag Warning effective at 11am today for parts of northern Arizona.

The US National Weather Service Flagstaff Arizona issued the warning through 8pm tonight for some areas within Coconino and Navajo Counties due to strong winds and low relative humidity.

Under Red Flag warnings, any ignition into a dry fuel bed can start a fast-moving, rapidly-spreading wildfire.

Avoid burning or using tools that spark. Please do your part to prevent wildfires.

Fire restrictions are in place across most of the state. For more information on restrictions: WildlandFire.az.gov.

🔥 Help Firefighters Help You: Create Your Defensible Space!

When a wildfire approaches, every second counts. By creating Defensible Space, you aren't just protecting your home—you’re providing a safer environment for firefighters to do their jobs effectively. 🛡️👨‍🚒

Follow these essential steps to "harden" your property today:

✅ Clear the Perimeter: Remove dry leaves, pine needles, and flammable debris at least 30–100 feet from your home. This helps keep ground fires from reaching your structure.

✅ Move Combustibles: Shift wood piles, propane tanks, and grills at least 30 feet away from the house. These can act as fuel "bridges" that bring fire right to your doorstep.

✅ Prep Your Gear: Keep a long garden hose connected and ready to go. It can be a vital tool for dousing small embers before they ignite.

✅ Visibility Matters: Ensure your address and driveway are clearly marked with reflective numbers. If firefighters can’t find you quickly in the smoke, they can’t help you.

A little work now gives your home a much better chance later. Let’s work together to keep the Grand Canyon State safe! 🌵✨

🚨 GO! – Evacuate Immediately! 🆘🏃‍♂️
Danger in your area is imminent and life-threatening. If you receive a GO order, do not delay. Your safety depends on immediate action.

Steps to take right now:

🏃‍♂️ Evacuate Now: Leave immediately for a designated shelter or the home of family/friends outside the affected area.

🎒 Take the Essentials: If possible, grab your emergency go-kit, including important documents, life-saving medications, and basic supplies.

🛣️ Follow Official Routes: Stay on designated evacuation routes provided by emergency personnel. Avoid all closed areas—they are restricted for your safety.

🧼 Practice Health Safety: When relocating, continue to follow public health recommendations and avoid close contact with those who are sick.

Important: If you choose to ignore this advisement, please understand that emergency services may not be able to assist you further if conditions become too dangerous.

🚨 Get SET: Be Alert and Act Early! 🔥🏠
When there is significant danger in your area, it’s time to get SET. This is your window to act before a situation becomes life-threatening. Remember, this might be the only notice you receive—be prepared to move at a moment’s notice.

How to be SET:

🏠 Consider Relocating Early: If you have unique needs, large animals, or simply want to avoid the rush, consider moving to a shelter or staying with family/friends outside the affected area now.

🎒 Grab Your Go-Kit: Ensure your emergency supplies are in your vehicle and ready to go. Double-check for family essentials like medications and pet supplies.

🧼 Stay Healthy: When relocating, remember to follow public health guidelines. Practice good hygiene, avoid close contact with those who are sick, and pack sanitizing wipes and face coverings in your kit.

📢 Stay Informed: Monitor official updates from public safety and health officials. Conditions can deteriorate rapidly—don't wait for a formal evacuation order if you feel unsafe.

Be alert, stay calm, and be SET to GO. 🛡️🌵

Preparedness is More Powerful When It’s Shared! 💬🌟

Safety doesn't just happen at home—it happens when a whole community looks out for one another. One small action today can inspire your friends, family, and neighbors to be ready for whatever tomorrow brings. 🛡️🌵

How can you inspire others?

Talk to your family: Sit down with your loved ones 👨‍👩‍👧 and walk through your communication and evacuation plans.

Show your setup: Take a photo of your emergency go-kit 📸🎒 and post it! Seeing what you've packed can give others the nudge they need to start their own.

Encourage action: Remind your neighbors to sign up for local emergency alerts or help an elderly friend check their smoke alarm batteries.

When we share our knowledge and our progress, we build a more resilient Arizona for everyone. Let’s lead by example!

Jones Fire Morning Update for Thursday, May 14, 2026:

Today, Arizona Forestry's Type 3 IMT transitioned the fire down to a Type 4 incident. Additionally, some resources were released to their home units for rest in advance of the upcoming weekend, and the potential for any new starts.

Containment has increased to 66% with the fire still sitting at 84 acres.

Today resources will continue with hazard tree mitigation and chipping operations from chainsaw work, along with strengthening previously established containment line. Engine crews are back on the line patrolling along the fire's perimeter cooling smoldering vegetation and monitoring for interior smokes and flareups. Low humidity levels and periodic afternoon wind gusts will be of concern throughout the day and into the weekend.

The US 60 is fully open. Drivers should use caution through the area as engines continue to work alongside the road.

📍Fire located with the Hassayampa River bottom, south/southeast of Wickenburg.

What Hazards Affect Your Community? 🌪️💧☀️

Every corner of Arizona is unique, and so are the hazards we face. From the threat of wildfires in our forests to flash floods in our desert arroyos and extreme heat in our urban centers, being prepared starts with knowing exactly what to expect.

The Arizona Emergency Information Network (AZEIN) encourages you to take the first step in your preparedness journey: Inquire.

Talk to the Experts: Reach out to your local emergency management officials to learn about the specific risks in your neighborhood.

Understand the Signs: Learn the difference between weather watches and warnings for your specific area.

Customize Your Plan: A flood plan looks different than a wildfire plan. Tailor your family’s emergency strategy to the hazards most likely to impact your home.

When you know the risks, you can take the right actions to stay safe. 🛡️🌵
