About the Pocket Fire
The Pocket Fire was first reported on June 19, 2026, about 7 miles north of Sedona, Arizona, in the rugged terrain of Oak Creek Canyon within the Coconino National Forest (Coconino County). Driven by hot, dry, windy conditions and repeated Red Flag Warnings, it grew rapidly through late June and proved extremely difficult to fight because of the steep, near-inaccessible landscape. The fire prompted evacuation orders and "SET" warnings for Oak Creek Canyon and nearby communities including Kachina Village, Forest Highlands, and Pine Del, closed State Route 89A between Sedona and Flagstaff, and sent smoke toward Flagstaff. As of late June 2026 the cause was undetermined and under investigation.
The figures above reflect public reporting as of late June 2026 and will change — use the official links above for the current picture.
