The Tunnel Fire was reported at 15% containment, and some residents are able to return home as U.S. 89 had reopened.
At one of the biggest fires near Flagstaff, Arizona, where 30 homes and numerous other buildings have been destroyed, authorities said they had used sirens and alarms Thursday night to warn residents to flee evacuation areas but howling winds muffled the alarms.
“Unfortunately, it's not something new to us ... but I hate seeing it when people are affected the way they are right now," she said."It's sad. It's a very sad time. But as a community, we've really come together.”Scattered rain and snow showers in northern Arizona on Friday were not enough to douse hot spots across the Tunnel Fire. High winds were drying out the area after the showers.
Crews mopped up hot spots in the Timberline Estates and Wupatki Trails subdivisions, while crews built a line around the edge of the fire between O’Leary Peak and Black Mountain., and the flames have cost at least one family their home. Nez said the nation will distribute hay and other livestock necessities for the impacted families early Saturday morning.
