A fast-moving wildfire exploded in size overnight into Wednesday, burning north of Flagstaff, Arizona, along Highway 89, which has forced local officials to declare a State of Emergency.
Named the Tunnel Fire, the blaze is 14 miles northeast of Flagstaff in Coconino County. AP reports the “wildfire doubled in size” since Tuesday to more than 16,600 acres this morning.
