Rafael Fire

Overview

*This will be the last smoke forecast for the Rafael Fire unless conditions change.*

The Rafael Fire is around 78,700 acres, with no growth for several days.

Smoke Synopsis

With pockets of heat still well within the perimeter, there may still be visible smoke coming from the fire; however, impacts are expected to remain light. Overall, smoke production on the Rafael Fire will continue to decrease each day.

Remember, if you are smelling smoke, you are breathing smoke, and you should limit your outdoor activity.

The air quality monitors we have deployed due to this fire will remain in place through the weekend. To view data from these portable smoke monitors, visit: https://www.phoenixvis.net/PPMmain.aspx
