6 fires sparked by lightning Wednesday nearly out

Storms Wednesday resulted in multiple wildfires along the Mogollon Rim. Coconino National Forest spokesman George Jozens brings us up to speed on the largest of 6 fires, the Tank Fire, which was near the Highway-87/Lake Mary Road junction. Jozens says the fire burned 170-acres and forward progress has been stopped. He says 140-people are working the fire. Jozens says the other 5 fires ranged from a single tree to 20-acres being burned. More of the same is expected through Saturday as storms move through the area.
