Wildfires

Wildfires – Arizona, USA

The Mangum Fire near the Grand Canyon torched nearly 15,000 acres and was 2% contained as of Saturday, while other wildfires continued burning across Arizona.

Though the cause of the fire remains under investigation, it was sparked Monday and as of Saturday involved 234 personnel working to quell it. The fire, which has burned 14,800 acres, was pushed north Friday by strong winds that caused blowing embers to create spot fires up to a half-mile north of the main fire.

A wildfire near Helena has grown rapidly from several hundred acres to 1 800 acres amid gusty winds. Evacuations along the expected path of the fire are under way.
