Monday afternoon (2/10/2025) around 3:00 P.M., resources from Prescott National Forest and AZ Department of Forestry and Fire Management responded to a wildfire south of Mayer, Arizona near the community of Pine Flats off Forest Road 67. The Prescott Hot Shots, several Engines, and a Type 2 crew are on scene and have begun suppression efforts. The Brady fire is estimated to be 400 acres and is burning brush and grass. Smoke can be seen from surrounding communities including Prescott, Chino Valley, Prescott Valley and Crown King. Additional resources have been ordered including air support.
An approaching storm will deliver gusty southwest winds the next couple of days. There is a chance for increased moisture Tuesday to Wednesday; with a possible chance of snow showers on Wednesday, but the forecast is for little to no accumulation.

With an active Wildland Fire with evacuation orders already give and hundreds of potential other residents pending evacuations this publication needs to publish updates at least every 8 hours at a maximum. The Mayer area is a moderate to low income area with a large population that has no Cellular and/or Internet Connectivity. Yet the County ignores this fact and relies on Internet based social media or reverse 9-1-1 cellular alerts to send critical evacuation orders.
The YCSO also relies on a backup notification system of the Sheriffs Jeep Posse. The YCSO Jeep Posse can take as long as 45 minutes to arrive in a target area after they receive orders to notify residents of evacuation orders.
Hopefully if the County ever achieves 100% connectivity with high-speed Internet for all, this might help fill this public safety need.
