A group of roadside wildfires collectively cover more than a 3,800-acre area about seven miles northwest of Seligman. The Arizona Department of Forestry took command of the Aubrey Wildfire complex on Tuesday.
A vehicle traveling along Historic Route 66 is suspected to have sparked the fires early Tuesday afternoon.
“We know it was human caused,” said fire information officer Tiffany Davilla. She said it suspected that a vehicle dragging a chain or something else may have sparked the fires, most of them small, but three of them grew together to cover substantial acreage.
The fire reported at 40% containment Wednesday afternoon had not resulted in any known injuries or structure loss. The Kingman Fire Department dispatched a type 6 brush unit, a Capt. and two firefighters to support the suppression effort.
