Brush Fire West of Whetstone Arizona

A brush fire started approximate 7 miles northwest of Whetstone, AZ around 5PM (maybe earlier). I guess the fire blacked about 80 acres at 6:30PM, and grew to about 130 acres when a thunderstorm approaches at 7:30. I'm not sure how many rainfall was received in the area, maybe between 0.2 to 0.4 inch, anyway the fire activity is low after the storm passing. I hope the fire be contained soon, before another round of thunderstorm wind hit the area tomorrow afternoon and evening. Be safe firefighters! and Thank you!



The wind direction changed suddenly southwest to northeast when a thunderstorm approached around 7:15PM. The first picture (left) was took about a half mile north of the location took another two pictures.



Looking from Sierra Vista at 7:26PM.
