Monument Fire Poster Image, June 12, 2011

3 years ago, June 12, 2011, a wildfire started near US-Mexico border and rapidly spread to north and east. The east side stopped by firefighters quickly, but fire moved north and climbed up to mountain and started burning heavy cold-killed grass and trees. The fire burned 30,526 (GACC Data) acres, damaged 105 buildings and 5 vehicles, and about ten thousand people in Hereford, Nicksville, and Sierra Vista were evacuated.

Last winter was dry and warm. And still dry and unseasonable windy days with possible dry lightnings. We are under critical fire condition, please everyone carefully use any stuffs that can start fire.
