VIDEO: Fire crews are battling a new fire north of Flagstaff.
The "Museum Fire", located just two miles north of Flagstaff, was reported just before 11 a.m. Sunday and so far has burned 1000 acres.
On Monday, the Coconino National Forest said overnight fire crews were not able to conduct burnout operations due to the activity and the fire spotting ahead of itself, but took indirect suppression tactics where they could.
The cause is still under investigation. According to the Coconino National Forest, firefighters are responding with ground crews, engines, helicopters, fixed wing and attack aircraft. The Coconino County Emergency Management has issued an evacuation order for the recreational areas of Forest Road 420 to Highway 89 (Mount Elden Lookout) and Schultz Pass Road. Pre-evacuation notices have been issued to communities located near the fire area.
