[AZ-Observing] Re: Comets Tempel?

I looked it up on the web and it is called the Butte fire just north of
Buckeye.  It appears that they have it mostly under control. Fourteen miles
northwest of Buckeye should put the fire right aroud the Flatiron site.  I
wonder if the meth lab was the culprit.  At least we can hope it destroyed
the meth lab materials the individuals had stored in the area.
NEW Butte (Arizona State): 350 acres at 75 percent contained. This fire is
14 miles northwest of Buckeye in grass. Residences in and around the town of
Buckeye were evacuated. Successful structure protection operations were
implemented. Flame lengths of 20 feet in grass with extreme rates of spread
were reported.
