It’s finally summer, but in Arizona the heat of summer can become a nightmare. Last weeks a fire in Arizona forced the evacuation of 11,000 people in the State.
The Captain Jim Wilkins, an U.S. fire service officer, has said: “ It is too early to know how many hundreds of homes in the city have been lost.”
More than 2,500 firefighters have been working in trying to extinguish the fire that began two weeks ago.
The flames happened by the White Mountains and have destroyed at least 11 other structures and damaged 588 more structures. The smoke was extended even to the New Mexico border where authorities are alert of the process of the flames in the State.
Brenyn Lohmoelder a spokesman of the fire service Reuters stated that “ The fire was very large and intense and that they are trying their best to control it.”
The fire has expanded so quickly that smoke have also been sighted in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska.
