[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]PHOENIX (AP) - A blaze in rugged central Arizona had grown to 152,000 acres Wednesday and concern shifted to a pair of communities surrounded by pine forest that could be threatened. [/font]

[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]The fire in rugged canyons north of Phoenix grew by more than 10,000 acres overnight and was expected to continue spreading through grass and desert brush. The lightning-sparked blaze was about 20 percent contained early Wednesday, down from 25 percent on Tuesday, fire officials said. [/font]

[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]No evacuations had been ordered, but authorities said that if the fire crosses the Verde River, it could race into the towns of Pine and Strawberry, which have numerous vacation homes set in pine forest but somewhat less than 5,000 year-round residents. [/font]

[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]The fire was still 20 miles southwest of Pine and Strawberry and 12 miles from the point where evacuations might be necessary, said Tom Berglund, a spokesman for the firefighters.

Nah this one sparked up late this afternoon.
I'm all like WTF it seemed that all of a sudden it was
strangely overcast. There were two fires

one out by Buckeye threw a plume over the whole valley.

Looking at that map, in the original view, it looks like most of the Western Hemisphere is in flames. :eek8:
 
Lived here all but the first two years of my life here

So next stop is Utah?

"As of early 2001 the C-5 had a mission capable rate of only 58 percent."


So you push round all types of AFMC planes?

The Cave Creek fire, as I heard on the radio, seems silly. Cave Vreek has nothing but million dollar homes & desert scrub. WHat the hell?

Million dollar homes with landscaping. That's the problem. Plants not entirely adapted to desert are nothing but kindling when the heat rises. ;)
