Central Arizona Fire officials said humidity and rain have helped them battle a fire of more than 70,000 acres in central Arizona that has forced the evacuation of more than 350 homes. The blaze, which was 60% contained as of Saturday afternoon and expected to be fully under control by Monday has kept Arizona firefighters busy throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, crews in southwestern Utah are battling a 17,000 acre fire that has threatened a town where evacuation orders were lifted in a nearby community.
