The heat is on the way and fires are never far behind. This is a placeholder for the forest and wildland fires in Arizona.

Could an Admin/Mod pin this to the top of the AZ I&BN?

In Cochise County, a small fire has already killed one person.

This is in our neighborhood. The winds could have made this so much worse. It's a shame that the son was right there and got pretty messed up, as well.

For those in Coconino, Gila, and Yavapai counties, APS may turn off electrical services in those counties during a wildfire. Have a back up generator or an alternate course of action.

Heavy DC-10 fire bombers were used yesterday to try to get a handle on it. The recent gusty winds and dryness haven't helped.
