AZ8 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 I believe that's the Rock Creek fire east of Whiteriver. Last report was 1000+ acres and very active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungHuntr Report post Posted June 22, 2013 Don't know if there is more than one fire burning, but the Rock Creek fire, according to CBS News, is only 181 acres and already 25% contained. They claim it may be contained by Tuesday. This would be good news if true. http://www.kpho.com/story/22659306/lightning-causes-rock-creek-fire-in-eastern-arizona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted June 22, 2013 Yeah, I heard about this today too. Right about the time we're going on vacation and right in our back yard...yikes. I hope they jump on this quick and the winds subside. A little rain would go a long way right about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
