AFTERNOON UPDATE: Fire officials now estimate the #SiphonFire at approximately 15,876 acres with 0% containment. The fire is human-caused and currently under investigation. Due to the rugged terrain, ground resources cannot safely access the majority of the fire, but firefighters were able to get a better look at the eastern side of the fire due to an aerial mapping mission. A Type 1 Helicopter was used to suppress active fire on the southwest side of the fire which was visible from Gold Canyon. Scooper aircraft also became available today and were utilized on both the Siphon and Point Fires.

SR 88 (Apache Trail) is closed past Lost Dutchman State Park. Tortilla Flat, Canyon Lake Marina, and Lost Dutchman State Park are all closed.  Resources assigned include one Type 2 initial attack crew, one suppression module and 13 engines, along with 2 Type 1 helicopters and 2 scoopers. #TontoNF #AZFire
