Fire managers attribute most of the overnight growth to a strategic burnout operation carried out around Fernow Cabin on the western flank of the Pocket Fire.

Firefighters continued burning forest land northwest of the Pocket Fire in preparation for high winds expected to begin on Friday. Fire managers are holding an event on the fire in Flagstaff at Sinagua Middle School at 7 p.m. tonight.

The Pocket Fire north of Sedona grew to more than 784 acres and it’s 0% contained.

The Pocket Fire burning north of Sedona reached 638 acres as of Tuesday afternoon and is still 0% contained.

Residents evacuated due to the Pocket Fire burning north of Sedona may return home Tuesday morning.

Fire managers warn the Pocket Fire about 7 miles north of Sedona poses a significant risk to Oak Creek, even as it grew only a little over the weekend.

The manager of a resort hotel near the Pocket Fire says she's concerned about it dropping into the canyon. A spokesperson working on the fire said it was “looking much better” on Saturday.

Crews are working to contain a fast-moving wildfire east of Flagstaff Tuesday, with more resources on the way.
