In its history, Arizona has had major wildfires that have scorched large swaths of land, and now new ones are climbing up the list of largest acreage burned. On Tuesday, the Telegraph Fire had burned 71,756 acres near the Miami-Globe area, causing evacuations and threatening nearby communities. This total puts the Telegraph Fire in the 10th spot for the largest wildfires in Arizona. The Mescal Fire, which is burning in tandem with the Telegraph Fire, has burned 66,913 acres, putting it just below the top 10 largest fires. If both actively burning fires continue to grow, each could climb the list.
