CROWN KING, Arizona - Fire crews who have nearly contained a wildfire that threatened the historic mining community of Crown King are now focused on clearing surrounding roads.
Fire officials say with most fire lines secure, firefighters were working Monday on removing fallen trees and brush adjacent to roads to make travel safe. About 120 residents of Crown King, a community 20 miles southeast of Prescott, forced to evacuate more than a week ago returned to their homes Saturday night.
A closure around the neighboring summer home community of Horsethief Basin is expected to be lifted Wednesday.
The blaze, which grew to 9,624 acres, or more than 14 square miles, is expected to reach full containment Friday.
