HEREFORD, Ariz. — The three fires in Hereford and Palominas last week have been ruled as human-caused.
The Wildhorse Fire was the largest due to two fires combining into one. It burned more than 600 acres in the heavily residential area but didn't damage any houses. Neighbors in the Three Canyons development worked together to help make sure everyone evacuated the neighborhood safely. Local and federal fire crews extinguished the fire six hours after it started. Robert Gallucci, who lives in the Three Canyons housing development, said he was surprised to see that every house in the neighborhood was safe after such a big fire.
Fry Fire deputy chief Kaleb Mauzy said the fire moved quickly but they were able to keep the houses safe because of how well the homeowners maintained their property.
