The #LineFire is 39,181 acres and 50% contained.
Cooler temperatures over the area are bringing up moisture levels in the vegetation. There was minimal fire growth overnight.
There have been multiple drone incursions over the Line Fire area. This has forced us to temporarily ground our aircraft which has impeded firefighting operations. Please help us share the message that flying drones in wildfire areas can have serious consequences.
If you fly, we can't.
Please read more about the Line Fire here:

Will Joy, prescribed fire specialist for @nature_org, knows reintroducing fire to the landscape can reduce the spread and severity of wildfires. Last month, Joy and other fire practitioners completed a #controlledburn with the @forestservice in New Mexico.

@nature_arizona & @nature_org collaborated with leading experts at @umontana @fcfcmontana & @usfs_rmrs to find new opportunities to reduce the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in forests in AZ & the West. The new research is published in @IOPenvironment bit.ly/45ZUB1q

When forests are healthy and resilient, they hold more carbon which cleans the air and buffers climate change effects. It's one of the many ways @nature_org science teams, led by Chief Scientist @KHayhoe and partners are supporting healthy communities and ecosystems. @Nature_Fire
