http://inciweb.org/incident/2262/

yeah we used to go camping all the time around big lake, hopefully it goes east of it

I don't have permission to view that therad :O

Reminds me of the Chediski and all of us being ready for evacuation orders its truly sad once again to see this and already its out of control there is no man power big enough to fight this kind of fires.I was on the Draw this past weekend and there was a big vjc run out there and saw people pitching lit ciggarett buts all over the place makes me sick to see that not many care or love for the land anymore,once it burns its closed forever in our lifetime

You got that right TC, and I'm a smoker. However I will put it on my mother that we are going to get FR42 open in the next year max. Hoping by end of this year.

I guess that fire got worse over the weekend

301 square miles burned and 0 percent contained

headed towards Greer

Another scary growth map

This one's good too. You can change the baselayer for streets/topo on the left side too.

So much lost

I hope Big lake makes it. I spent most my summer vacations there as a kid learning to fish. I love that area.

It was all but surrounded this morning. That Black River hike I didn't end up doing last year is gone

This was a very helpful map. Thanks Mike.

So sad. Was told the forest around big lake is gone. Feel like I lost a part of me.

My cousin Matt just got called up with 20 other Phx Fire to go help in Springerville/Eager. They think the fire might make its way to the city and they are there to protect the buildings

he sent me this pic just outside alpine

Just heard on the news that fire has grown to big to stop, they are going to try and save as many structures as possible and let it burn...

Some pics of the fire showed up on Flickr
