Fire officials report the first containment numbers for both the Pipeline and Haywire fires burning near Flagstaff. Most evacuations have been lifted and portions of U.S. Highway 89 have reopened.
The Pipeline Fire is 6 miles north of Flagstaff and has burned over 20,000 acres so far. A suspect has been arrested in connection to the fire, the sheriff's office says.
Managers on the Pipeline Fire say it’s reached more than 22,000. Calmer winds and more favorable firefighting conditions Tuesday allowed for strong aerial firefighting operations. Sling bucket helicopters and DC10 slurry bombers worked non-stop through the day.
