Hey Eric - thank you for this story. My father is a fire chief in one of the Nogales area fire districts so whenever I come across stories like this one I always feel a connection to the people who combat these huge infernos. Hopefully we won't be seeing a repeat of recent years where we had huge fires in some of the mountains here in Southern AZ.
