The Type 2 Southwest Incident Management Team 5, led by Incident Commander Mark Bernal, took command of the Mescal fire at 6am on Friday, June 4, 2021. The Mescal Fire continues to burn approximately 7 miles northeast of Dripping Springs and 16 miles southeast of Globe. There was no flight overnight, so fire acreage is estimated. 
Fire Update
The fire grew to the north and northeast on Thursday, driven by gusty afternoon winds. Helicopters and airtankers are being used to slow the spread of the fire, which has now moved on to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Additional firefighters have arrived and are working to build line where there is a good chance the lines will hold. Crews are protecting powerlines that provide power to the San Carlos Apache Reservation and several area communities. There was minimal fire activity Thursday on the southern side of the fire in the vicinity of the powerlines. The fire is not a threat to any communities at this time, and aviation resources and firefighters are working hard to keep the communities and Mescal Ranch protected.
