Three fires ignited by lighting on the Prescott National Forest

Three fires were ignited by lightning Wednesday on the Prescott National Forest. Spokesperson Debbie Maneely says the Grief Fire, east of Cherry, is a quarter acre with a line around it. The Yellow Fire, north of Dugas, is 113-acres with crews working to suppress it. The Tiger Fire, burning in the Castle Creek Wilderness, was 120-acres last night. Maneely says she’s not received an update on acreage. She says the fire is being monitored by air while crews work on a strategy to put it out. She says a Type-3 Team may be called in to handle it.
