Firefighters are battling the three-acre Woods Fire near Sedona on Horse Mesa east of the Village of Oak Creek—smoke from the blaze is visible on I-17 and in nearby communities.

Officials have not released a map of the fire and the public is advised to steer clear for safety.

The Dragon Bravo Fire started on July 4 on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim from a lightning strike and has burned 144,432 acres with 44% containment as 1,125 firefighters work to control it.
