Northwest Incident Management Team 6 To Transfer Command of the Telegraph Fire  

Yesterday crews continued to make significant progress with suppression repair efforts, including rehabilitating fire control lines along the U.S. Route 60 corridor and near El Capitan and backhauling firefighting equipment. Isolated hot spots continued to smolder in Icehouse Canyon, on the south side of Mescal Mountain, and north of Dripping Springs. Firefighters continued to monitor for flare ups and utilize crews and aircraft as necessary to prevent fire spread. With increased chances of monsoonal moisture entering the area this week, residents near the burned area should be prepared for potential post-fire flash flooding.   

This is the last daily update from the Northwest Incident Management Team 6.  Incident Commander Shawn Sheldon extends his Incident Management Team’s sincere appreciation to all the communities in Pinal and Gila counties impacted by the Telegraph Fire. It has been a pleasure to work with our many cooperators in serving these communities during these challenging times.  David Behr, a Type 3 Incident Commander, will assume command of the Telegraph Fire on Wednesday, June 30th at 6 a.m.
