Rim Country residents got through a smoky week, with major controlled burns sending up smoke throughout the region. A 1,000-acre burn near Whispering Pines (above) sent smoke wafting through Payson early in the week. By week’s end, fire managers had also treated 3,000 acres near the Clear Creek Pines and Starlight Pines subdivisions off Highway 87, north of the Blue Ridge Ranger Station.
