| A terrible event today in my small town.... |
 |
| Wildfire..... |
 |
| Still not under control as of tonight. |
 |
| So far over 6000 acres have burned. |
 |
| Hundreds of homes have been evacuated. Many of the people in this area have horses or other livestock. The rodeo grounds have kindly offered their help as a safe place for animals. |
 |
| The fire was started near the base of Granite Mountain, a nature preserve with many hiking trails. Speculation that it was likely caused by man. |
 |
| Planes have been flying over all day dumping fire repellent. Over 200 firefighters are on the ground. |
 |
| Most of these photos are from the Prescott Daily Courier submitted by local residents. |
 |
 |
| The fire is about 8 miles from my house. This is looking over the next hill in my neighborhood. |
 |
| I'm telling you, it is dry here. We haven't had rain since January. The trees are crispy and brittle. |
 |
| Motor & Joey are as content as ever, not aware of the danger outside. I keep thinking about all the people so close to the fire and how afraid they must be. I can't imagine losing my home or pets. I will be checking on volunteering my help somehow tomorrow. |
