Fire is terrible and damaging, but also nesscessary. It is part of the four elements that the ground is made to sustain. It removes debris, is a natural pest control, and creates rich nutrients for new life to grow in. Remember the legend of the Phoenix.

So sad to see this beautiful area damaged by the fire.

Great fire images... I admire your captures in Tonto. I took a few AZ fires myself. Wished I'd captured more... Interesting how AZ photographers think the same... Some I've taken on PBase can be found at:http://www.pbase.com/azleader/wildfire
