A wildfire that sparked more than a week ago in northwestern Arizona has now scorched more than 30,000 acres.
"Drive times to get to the fire line in some areas are as long as five hours," officials said, noting the difficulty of fighting this fire. "Meals and additional, necessary equipment will be dropped in via helicopters to crews spiked out on the fire line."
Smoke can be visible to residents in both Yavapai and Mohave counties. It's burning near O Ro Ranch in the Mohon Mountains but has not posed a major threat to any residents or communities in this sparsely populated area.
