## Resource

A brush fire near Fountain Hills forced northbound closures on State Route 87, causing major delays as ADOT gave no reopening timeline—southbound lanes remained open. Drivers were urged to find alternate routes, with real-time updates available via AZ511. This isn’t an isolated event: multiple fires are raging across Arizona and the Southwest, worsening due to record heat and drought, while firefighting crews are stretched dangerously thin, making this wildfire season one of the most severe in recent memory.
