    PALMDALE, CA, June 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A plume of smoke covered Flagstaff while firefighters fought to keep the nineteen square mile wildfire from heading near the mountain town of sixty thousand people.

The Arizona fire continues to blaze and the people seek any advantage they can from their belongings burning. Firefighters secured some of the region that was closest to homes, several hundred of which remained under evacuation orders, said fire spokeswoman Erin Phelps. Fire personnel continue to work on containment lines near the south and north sides, where the fire has been more active.

The fire is approximately five miles from Flagstaff and has been very difficult for firefighters to access due to the hill and rocky region. The Arizona fire has taken over twelve thousand acres so far. The U.S. Forest Service has deployed four air tankers to assist in fighting the blaze.
