Thousands flee as Arizona wildfire practically triples in size

< img src="https://bharatsuchana.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/pRcShy.jpg"class="ff-og-image-inserted"> A wind-driven Arizona wildfire nearly tripled in location on Wednesday after burning lots of structures and forcing thousands to leave their houses in a drought-hit rural area. The blaze, called the Tunnel Fire, swept northeast over mainly unpopulated hills and valleys 14 miles(23 km)north of Flagstaff, Arizona, according to an US Forest Service statement. Flames burned 16,625
acres, an area larger than Manhattan, moving through the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monolith which has a visitor center and hiking tracks, the release stated. Driven by standard gusty spring winds, the blaze required more than 2,000 residents from their houses, the Coconino county Board of Supervisors stated. At least 25 structures were burned after the fire moved through parts of the Wupatki Trails and Timberline Estates communities, which are developed in pine forest, the county constable’s office said. The location is part of a swathe of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado captured in more than 2 decades of largely unrelenting dry spell after typical temperatures in the area increased about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the past century, according to information from
the Desert Research Study Institute and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Around 360 miles to the east, a senior couple passed away in their in Ruidoso, New Mexico, home recently when a wildfire damaged hundreds of homes and required thousands to get away the mountain town.
