Reminds me of the Great New River Brush Fire back in 93. Before Anthem
existed, there was a rest stop at that point on I-17. Some careless
person tossed a cigarette and started it from there. When the fire
finally crested the hill just south of my home, it looked very much like
that image ... minus the observatory, unfortunately. :) They brought
in slurry bombers and water-bearing choppers to keep the flames from
reaching the homes in my area. Brush fires are WAY easier to control
than forest fires.
