Arizona has already had several wildfires over the last week – and experts say it could be an indication of the type of season we’ll have if we have another dry monsoon. Fires put lives and property at risk and it also affects wildlife. The Tonto National Forest is home to more than 400 wild horses where they roam free. “They’re kind animals. They don’t hurt anyone. They just peacefully exist on our public lands,” said Simone Netherlands. President of the Salt River Wild Horses Management Group. The nonprofit group is working to protect the familiar symbol of the southwest in the drought. “We’ve just not been able to stop feeding the horses because of this terrible drought,” said Neatherlands. The lack of rain also brings the danger of wildfires, especially along the Beeline highway.
