Crews across Arizona spent the weekend fighting several wildfires, including one south of Payson that had grown to more than 4 square miles and another north of Phoenix that led authorities to order evacuations in a historic mining community. A total of five wildfires in the state had charred more than 9 square miles by late Sunday, the Arizona Republic reported (http://bit.ly/JQecly ). The fires follow a recent warning from state land managers that hot May temperatures and dry vegetation have created a very high fire risk in some areas.
