#WallowFire: Report from Eagar

#WallowFire report from Doyel Shamley in Eagar 4:19 PM (NM)

The wind is very bad and is driving the fire.  A helicopter just flew over - it can hardly fly with wind and the updrafts blowing it around and the bucket it is carrying swinging the helicopter around.

The new evacuation area contains the town's airstrip and it is surrounded by grass.  Fire is burning the grass west of town – it's moving fast because of the wind.
