FLAGSTAFF (NAZ Today) – On Tuesday the Schultz Fire grew to 14,000 acres; by the end of the day the fire was about 20% contained thanks to calm winds. For the immediate future, areas evacuated on Sunday and Monday seem to be out of harm’s way. Residents living in evacuated neighborhoods north of Flagstaff were allowed back into their homes Wednesday morning.
Coconino National Forest officials have said that the fire could change just as quickly as the winds. Hotshot crews are expected to completely contain the blaze in about two weeks, but the fire could burn much longer than that.
Kevin Boughton got a chance to survey the damage the Schultz Fire has left in its path.
