Fire confirmed state’s largest
SHOW LOW, Ariz. (AP) — An
explosive, 500-square-mile wildfire
burned nearly to the doorstep of this
evacuated mountain town Monday
as ash rained down in an eerie
shower on crews desperately fight
ing to hold back the flames.
The largest fire in Arizona histo
ry burned to within a mile of this
town of 7,700 by midday. It had
already destroyed at least 329 hous
es and 16 businesses, most of them
in Heber-Overgaard, a community
35 miles west of Show Low that
burned over the weekend.
Firefighters in Show Low faced
two dire possibilities, depending on
the weather: a wind-blown wall of
flame that could overrun the town,
or drifting embers that could start
smaller fires across the community.
“There’s still a tremendous risk
of fire jumping into Show Low,”
fire spokesman Jim Paxon said,
though winds were light and the
fire was not the onrushing monster
it was late last week.
President Bush planned to tour
the area Tuesday.
Brown smoke spiraled into a
hazy, gray sky Monday and the
sun cast a dull orange glow. Ash
piled up in gutters and on cars. In
neighborhoods nearest the fire,
many homes with too much
underbrush or wood shingles
were marked with red flags to
show there was no use trying to
save them.
Outside the wood-shingled home
of Becky and Dany Seymour, a sprin
kler system sprayed the lawn as fire
fighting helicopters dipped giant
buckets into a nearby lake.
Wildfires merge
The Rodeo and Chediski fires merged in
central Arizona on Sunday. The fire has
destroyed at least 186 homes.
