Heavy winds stymie progress on Pipeline Fire but firefighters have hope for more favorable conditions
The Pipeline Fire near Flagstaff was first reported Sunday and exploded in growth because of extremely heavy winds. The blaze made a seven-mile run to the northeast through Shultz Pass in its first day, and it’s bearing down on the Timberline area and other communities, triggering the evacuations of nearly 2,200 homes. KNAU spoke with Type 3 Incident Commander Aaron Graeser.
