ARIZONA WILDFIRE CONTINUES FORCING COMMUNITIES TO EVACUATE HOMES

A wildfire is still burning across 9 square miles of land in eastern Arizona's White Mountains, forcing dozens of homes to be evacuated. Communities mostly populated with summer homes remained under mandatory evacuation orders because of the fire that first was reported around noon last Thursday. 
Its cause remains under investigation. Officials say a wildfire in eastern Arizona's White Mountains has grown by about a square mile. But it's due to burnout operations by crews and the flames are not spreading.
