1/9 Horton Fire, northeast of Payson, is 23% contained with over 8,300-acres burned. Fire officials say cooler temperatures and rain have helped to slow the fire, allowing crews to work on patrol and mop up. Today crews are once again concerned with high winds and will work to keep the fire within containment lines. A public meeting is scheduled for 6-pm Friday at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Payson. The meeting will also be livestreamed on the Tonto National Forest Facebook page.
