The June 2022 Flagstaff wildfires was a series of wildfires burning near the city of Flagstaff, Arizona. At least three wildfires were reported near Flagstaff and caused hundreds of people to evacuate. However, two of the three reported fires, which are the Haywire and Double fires, combined on June 13. Before the merger of both of the fires, the Double Fire burned 500 acres (200 ha).[1] The first wildfire to be discovered was the Pipeline Fire on June 12 at around 10:15 AM (MST);[2] By Monday evening on June 13, the fire burned 5,000 acres (2,000 ha). As of June 13, 2022, no injuries or deaths have been reported, and one structure has been destroyed.[3] 26 homes in Timberline were lost in the tunnel fire in april of 2022. The cause of that fire remains unknown although citizens blame the USFS for not thoroughly extinguishing a controlled burn. That was never proven. The pipeline fire was caused by a simpleton from Louisiana,burning his used toilet paper in the middle of a blinding wind storm & up to 65mph gusts, necessitating several days of "red flag warnings". The pipeline & haywire fires were deemed 100% contained 2 weeks later when monsoon storms put the fires out,but severe,persistent,& life threatening post fire/burn scar flash flooding began immediately in it's stead.
