Doubtful this fire appears to be causes by lightnening strike. I really doubt either of those groups would choose Prescott AZ as a strike point. Terrorism because it is a somewhat remote area and in the north western part of the state and not what you would consider a drug corridor.

Unfortunately I am totally ignorant about the location. All I know about Arizona is climbing the mountains there when 3rd Battalion did an "assault climber course" outside of FT Huachuaca. For some reason I thought this was on the border.

I am currently trapped (TRAPPED I TELL YOU!!) in FT Knox and before that I was secluded in JROTC summer camp in FT Jackson, SC. So I haven't had a lot of news...

... except what I see here.

This fire is almost 300 miles NW of Ft Huachuaca.
