Crown King, Arizona (AP) A 500-acre wildfire that came very close to a remote mountain community north of Phoenix has moved away from the town.
Fire officials say strong winds have pushed the Lane 2 Fire southeast toward wilderness and more winds are expected Monday to continue the trend.
Prescott National Forest spokeswoman Debbie Maneely says the community is still considered threatened. There is still no containment.
No injuries have been reported among fire crews.
About 120 residents voluntarily evacuated Sunday. Yavapai County sheriff's officials say the blaze began Saturday night after a lost hiker set a signal fire for search and rescue crews.
