TAM Report post Posted June 19, 2013 Been watching this thing grow all day. Lots of houses right in it's way. I took this picture of Granite Mountain from my driveway in Prescott a few minutes ago using my Outdoorsmans digi scope adapter. The entire ridgeline to the north of the mountain is just glowing, it's pretty eerie looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GotBowAz Report post Posted June 19, 2013 I heard in the news this was possibly human started, anyone know the skinny on that? Someone just had to have a campfire maybe?? I just don't get people sometimes. Go ahead and camp, enjoy the outdoors, you don't need a campfire to have a great time. Prayers go out to the family's and ththe well being of their homes and property's in that fires path. GBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The area it started is right out of town with quite a bit of human activity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazpilot25 Report post Posted June 19, 2013 I heard on the radio this morning it grew over 5,000 acres overnight! Holy moly that's a fast fire! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metau Report post Posted June 20, 2013 Inciweb stated 7,000 acres as of this mornings briefing, with expected 20mph winds today. Type 1 IMT was supposed to be on site today as well. Not sure where it is at this afternoon, but I doubt it's gotten smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
