Wildfires

Wildfires - Arizona, USA

The Juniper Fire near Young grew to more than 6,620 acres over the weekend, casting a pass of smoke over Rim Country. Some 358 firefighters continued to monitor and direct the blaze, relying on five aircraft, a masticator, three dozers and 15 engines with five Hotshot crews to make sure the low-intensity ground fire remained within a boundary of some 80,000 acres.

Meanwhile, the 3,708-acre Pivot Rock Fire north of Pine also sent a thick column of smoke into the sky throughout the holiday weekend.

Fire crews also continued to monitor and direct two lightning-caused wildfires near Flagstaff.

The Cowboy Fire hit 2,139 acres on Monday.

The Mormon Fire grew to 2,167 acres.
