MUSEUM FIRE UPDATE

Liz Archuleta, Coconino County Supervisor, District 2

Just a week ago this Sunday, the Museum Fire began.

The blaze has scorched close to 2,000 acres just north of Flagstaff in the Dry Lakes region. As of yesterday, there were no structures destroyed and containment remained steady at about 12 percent.

Our community has always shown its willingness to #LiveUnited during times like these, and we’ve already seen how generous people have been with their time and money to help those affected by the wildfire.

If you are looking for ways to lend a hand, they are just a text or click away:

Text FlagFireFund to 41444 to make a donation to a special fund to assist those impacted by the blaze. You can also click here to make a donation. 100% of your donation will be used to support those affected by the Museum Fire.

Text VolunteerNow to 51555 to sign up to become part of our Crisis Response Team. You can also access our Volunteer sign up form here. We’ll be reaching out to volunteers to organize our efforts from helping out at community meetings to filling sandbags.

In coordination with Coconino County, the UWNA opened the Museum Fire Volunteer Coordination Center this morning at the County’s Health and Human Services department building at 2625 N. King Street, Flagstaff. It will be open 8 am until 7 pm daily further notice.

Volunteers will be trained and deployed to help people in the community who need assistance with sandbags and other Museum Fire and flood-related issues. Those with trucks and/or trailers are encouraged to bring them.

Thank you so much!

Your generosity and support

are greatly appreciated.
