FIRE SAFETY

North area of Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve closed until further notice

Posted

With the Boulder Fire continuing to burn to the east, Scottsdale has closed the north portion of its McDowell Sonoran Preserve (north of Dynamite Boulevard) until further notice.

This closure is enacted out of an abundance of caution for the public - while this fire does not presently pose an immediate threat, gusting winds can change that rapidly.

The closure includes all preserve lands north of Dynamite Boulevard, including city trailheads at:

• Pima Dynamite
• Brown’s Ranch
• Fraesfield
• Granite Mountain

Neighborhood access points in these areas are closed as well.

The city will continue monitoring the Boulder Fire and adjust closures as conditions dictate.
