Two fires are being managed as one, called the Shake Fire. Forward progress has been stopped on the other fire, the Ray Fire.
KEARNY, Ariz. — Fire crews in the small town of Kearny, in southeast Pinal County, made significant progress on the Shake Fire Wednesday. For resident Mike Looney, it was a worrisome sight Tuesday as he watched flames creep to within feet away from his home.
"They even cleaned out in between the fences, because there's that little walkway gap in there. And if I hadn't cleaned that out and the fire got in there it would have set my neighbors' sheds on fire. It would have set my sheds on fire. And, yeah, I would have lost a lot," Looney said. “Eternally grateful for that. If it hadn't been for the planes, I think they would have never got it stopped," Looney said.
