The Platypus/Rhino Fire near Sedona received moisture throughout the day yesterday, and fire behavior greatly diminished. With warm dry weather ahead, some potential for fire activity remains, especially near the southern edge of the original Rhino Fire where fingers of vegetation run through steep, rugged canyons. Significant growth is not anticipated, but firefighters will continue to closely monitor the area. If activity increases, some smoke would likely be noticeable from the Flagstaff and Sedona areas. Incident Commander Trainee Brian Blanchard said, “Yesterday’s rains definitely helped, but as the fuels dry out over the next couple of days, there’s still a chance we could see some areas pick back up. It did a couple weeks ago after receiving a good amount of monsoonal rains, so we’re going to keep a close eye on it for a while.”
