I think it was just two days ago I was reading GTG's comments about putting out mulitple campfires.

I don't know how this one passed me by but the Reavis Fire is 50% under control.(it must and hopefully is tiny) I hadn't even heard about it! This is just sad and you know it's the carelessness of some idiot like so many others. It really turns my stomach.

You know I've only been hiking for about six years now but there seems to be a bunch of fires. I'm curious from Nighthiker, the zumas or whoever thats been around here longer... 'Do wildfires seem more abundant in the past 15 years then say the previous 15 years?'

One of the local Apache Junction newspapers has an article online regarding the Reavis Fire in the Superstition Wilderness Area and the website is http://www.AJNews.com

thx good info

There's also a very interesting piece under Kollenborn's Chronicles

That's just sad to hear. It looks like 4 miles SE from Apache Lake as indicated would be quite a ways downstream from Reavis Falls which I map as 5-6 miles SE.

It cost big bucks to fight these fires. I'm surprised rewards aren't offered leading to conviction. If nothing else, the next idiot would think twice before committing such a senseless crime on nature.
