A wildfire burning out of control between the towns of Sedona and Flagstaff in northern Arizona was most likely “human caused,” say authorities. The blaze has been dubbed the “Slide Fire” due to its proximity to Slide Rock State Park, which was recently named one of America’s 10 Best State Parks. The fire began on Tuesday but “exploded” yesterday, threatening hundreds of homes and businesses and putting over 3,000 residents on evacuation alert. 300 homes are under mandatory evacuation.
