We are under siege by forest fires...I walked out my front door this afternoon to be greeted by this sight...over 1000 homes on the other side of the highway have been evacuated. The fire has grown to over 3000 acres since about 11:00 am today, there were 10 aircraft working it until the fixed-wing units were grounded because of high wind. As of 3:30 no structures had burned, thank God. Have been monitoring the the radios and it sounds like the wind has lessened and the big tankers are going up again.
We are very grateful for our firefighters, who are earning their pay the old fashioned way this summer. And praying for those who have had to leave their homes and posessions, not knowing if they will still be standing when they return.
This is only one of several fires currently burning out of control near Flagstaff, including one within the city limits.
