A new fire just started a while ago here in Cave Creek. This is within a mile of our home and growing quickly. The wind is pushing it in the direction of Spur Cross Ranch. Aaarrgghhh...

@DixieFlyer
Wade, thanks for your concern. We are fine as the fire is just to our north. A change in wind direction could have been bad news for us however. Our internet has been out till just now (4 am Mon.) We were just awakened by a large explosion and fireball 1/4 mile north of our house...guessing a propane tank maybe. The night sky is orange again.

@LosDosSloFolks
wow...be safe!

I did wonder if invasive species made up a lot of that brush I saw in the video. I googled Cave Creek weed control, and found that people have been encouraged to clear certain invasive weeds, including one I'd never heard of, called Globe Chamomile, or stinknet. https://ktar.com/story/2896789/cave-cre ... fire-risk/
