Arizona's fire season may drag out a little longer. "If the weather continues as it is, this fire season could definitely stretch into November, maybe December," said Shawn Gilleland with Rural Metro Fire Department. "Currently, we're looking at about 14 to 16 active fires." He said the state needs moisture. The record heat and little rain have created the perfect storm for a rough fire season. "It's extremely abnormal," said Gilleland. "I don't think, in Arizona, I can't remember a time that we've seen it stretched out like this that we've gone so many days over 100 degrees."
