Authorities are battling multiple fires throughout the Grand Canyon State as Arizona's wildfire season ramps up. Fire departments this year are already battling fires during what experts predict will be just as destructive of a season as last year, if not more. Wildfires in Arizona burned the most acres of land in 2020 than any other year in the past decade, according to data from the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. The state's 2021 Wildfire Season Outlook predicted widespread fire activity by the beginning of June, and multiple wildfires currently raging across the state have shown that prediction to be true.
