Wildfire spreads in Arizona Lead to Evacuations
Evacuations have been ordered for about 200 homes, said Anita Mortensen, spokeswoman for the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office. A wildfire in Arizona dubbed the Flag Fire has burned 1,000 acres since it was reported Sunday afternoon.
The blaze started between the Flag Mine and Wild Cow Campground in the Hualapai Mountains, about 11 miles south/southeast of Kingman. It also prompted the closure of the Hualapai Mountain Resort and Hualapai Mountain Park, she said.
A helicopter crew will do a reconnaissance over the fire area Monday to better understand the impact, officials said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
