FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Massive clouds of smoke choked Flagstaff on Tuesday as firefighters battled to keep a nearly 19-square-mile wildfire from heading toward the mountain town of about 60,000 people.
The work shifted after firefighters secured the area closest to homes, several hundred of which remained under evacuation orders, said fire spokeswoman Erin Phelps. The fire is about 5 miles south of Flagstaff.
About 10 percent of the Schultz fire was under control as 800 firefighters worked to suppress it. No major injuries have been reported, and no structures have burned. Authorities have pointed to an abandoned campfire as the cause of the blaze.
