Update - "The "Slide Fire" south of Flagstaff, AZ

The fire has slowed down or stalled temporarily about 10 miles or so south of town.

Thanks to brave fire fighters, air attack, back  burns, and fire lines.  But tomorrow is another windy day and things could change!

Thick smoke and ashes falling all over town, approximately 10 to 15 miles ahead of the fire.  No spot fires yet.  Scary!

I was in charge of 5 SAR teams ready to evacuate homes south of town, but the evacuation  is on hold for now.

Some pics from the fire evacuation staging area.
