The fire off the I-10 in Avondale flared up tonight. No businesses or homes threatened. It's the 3rd time in 3 weeks we've seen a brush fire in the river bottom here.

Firefighters pushed a gurney up the trail at Papago Butte in 114 degree heat midday. The Phoenix crew was called to help a hiker (woman in her 20s) who's now in the hospital. She only made it 1/4 of a mile in before developing heat-related symptoms.

Incredible crowd in Prescott to honor the Yarnell 19, and remember them 10 years after they were killed fighting a wildfire.

Despite some challenges reopening after a 3-year pandemic closure, Havasupai Falls is as stunning as ever 🤩. And because the tribe limits permits, you’ll never feel crowded at the waterfalls along Havasu Creek.
