Humidity and rain aid Arizona crews in large wildfire
Fire officials said humidity and rain helped crews control a wildfire in central Arizona that burned about 70,220 acres and forced evacuation of over 350 homes. By Friday residents were allowed back as the blaze reached roughly 60 percent containment and was expected to be under control soon. Nearby western Utah also saw a 17,000 acre fire containment with evacuation orders lifted for a community previously near the blaze.
