CRIT’s controlled burn seen as far as Havasu

A controlled burn is part of a spring brush cleanup today at the Ahakhav Tribal Preserve on the eastern shore of the Colorado River just south of Parker. The smoke can be seen for many miles around and raised questions about the fire throughout the area, including from as far as Lake Havasu City.

CRIT Fire, CRIT Environmental Protection Office and the Ahakhav Preserve are monitoring the fire, which is burning off excess vegetation next to the river, according to CRIT.
