It was very distressing driving into Flagstaff, Arizona, yesterday. Nearby Oak Creek Canyon, between Flagstaff and Sedona, has had a wildfire raging through it for several days now. You can see the smoke billowing up as you go west on I-40. For firefighters, I am sure this must remind them of last year when 19 firefighters from the Prescott Fire Department lost their lives while battling a fire. So far, no one has been injured in this fire, but it is still not contained.
These look like the Smoky Mountains, only they are not!
