Residents Leave Homes As Wildfires Sweep Through Us West

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — Jill Baker grabbed her dogs and took refuge at a high school after a raging fire forced her northern Arizona town to evacuate. Baker was one of nearly 2,000 people who fled a wildfire that has charred 32 square miles (83 square kilometers) of dense shrubbery over the same area devastated by a blaze that killed 19 firefighters four years ago. "It looked like five fires," Baker said.
