KINSHIP CIRCLE IS MONITORING 3 ARIZONA WILDFIRES: We are watching for animal impacts and response. Evacuation orders are lifted for the Horseshoe Two wildfire in southeastern Arizona, with minimal damage to Cave Creek Canyon birding area. A second 30,000-acre blaze near Sierra Vista was 85 percent contained as of 6/26/11, with evacuation orders for 10,000 people lifted. The third, 80 percent contained fire in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest stretched 841 sq. miles and ruined 32 homes since May 29. A New Mexico blaze has burned 15 sq. miles, with no immediate threat to structures. All allegedly human-caused fires are under investigation.
