Firefighters are working to contain a wildfire burning southwest of Wickenburg.
They were first called out to the fire on South Vulture Mine Road near Aguila Road on Monday afternoon. When they got there, the Jackrabbit Fire had burned 10 acres. Within two hours, the flames had burned 150 acres. And by 8 p.m., about 1,744 acres had burned.
Crews from several agencies are attacking the fire from the air and the ground. People from Wickenburg can see the smoke but the City's police department is asking them to not call 911 for updates on the fire.
The fire is also visible from downtown Phoenix. The City tweeted a picture from one of its PHXCityCAMs, where the smoke was spotted in front of the glow from the sunset.
An investigation is underway into what started the fire.
