Illegal campfire sparked Arizona fire
CLINTS WELL, Ariz. (AP) – Authorities say an illegal campfire sparked a wildfire in Arizona that has prompted evacuations while burning 30 buildings and threatening about 1,000 homes and other structures.
Coconino National Forest officials said Tuesday that investigators determined that an abandoned campfire in an area where such fires are temporarily banned started the blaze.
The fire south of Flagstaff has burned nearly 18 square miles. An investigation is ongoing.
