The Wallow Fire is now the third biggest wildfire in Arizona history.

Just right now there is a smokey haze hanging over the Gila Mountains and Mount Graham here in Safford.

There is a recent map that says the fire has gotten as far south as Hannagan Meadow, and now Blue has been evacuated.

I think this is going to be a bad fire season.

Desert Kid, I think the smoke your getting there is from the Horseshoe Fire and not the Wallow Fire. Either way your right it's going to be a rough fire season.

These two fires are extremely bad, but neither of them were natural. The horseshoe fire was started by the stupid illegals, and the Wallow by some campers or something. Both of these could have been prevented.

It's now pushing 200,000 acres. And is putting Hannagan's Meadow under a dire threat. They are putting firelines around the Hannagan's Meadow Lodge.

I hope everything turns out alright.

This is tragic. I haven't read much into it.. Is it a man made fire?

Do you know of a map that shows where the fire has burned thus far?

Started by campfires. [mod cut-- off topic, and an unconfirmed rumor]
