KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Light rain and snow diminished a wildfire in the Hualapai Mountains near Kingman but fire managers remained concerned because hot and dry conditions are expected to return, officials said Wednesday.
The precipitation Tuesday enabled crews to clear and reinforce containment lines and also create defensible space around structures in neighborhoods where 200 homes were evacuated previously, officials said.
The fire has burned an estimated 1400 acres (6 square kilometers) since starting Sunday.
