BOULDER CITY, Nev.– The National Park Service will conduct two prescribed burns near
Willow Beach, Arizona, on Monday, November 6. The first burn pile is approximately 1/4-mile
northeast of the employee housing, near Willow Beach Fish Hatchery. The second burn pile is
200 yards up the Jumbo Wash access road, south of Willow Beach Ranger Station. The roads
adjacent to the piles may experience short-term impacts, but closures are not expected.
This activity aims to eliminate hazardous combustible material generated and piled during the
annual cutting and thinning projects conducted in the area. The prescribed burn will protect
structures, infrastructure, and natural resources in the surrounding area and ensure the safety of
residents and visitors.
The burn piles are comprised of wood and other plant material associated with tree trimming and
include a mix of tamarisk, willows, arrow weed, various desert brush, and untreated wood from
facility operations and maintenance.
