The eastern wildfire is the largest in history, with 200,000 hectares of land destroyed. Fueled by strong winds, forest fires in southern and eastern Honshu have spread violently again, hampering firefighters' efforts to put out the fires. It is reported that the National Forest Park in eastern Arizona has been affected by fires. At the same time, the New Mexico town of Luna, near the border, is also threatened by fires. In view of the increasingly fierce fires, in southern Arizona, the authorities' original advice to prepare for evacuation has been changed to mandatory evacuation for safety. According to reports, the forest fire has burned more than 200,000 hectares of forest land, and the authorities dispatched more than 3,500 firefighters to fight the fire. However, the fire spread so violently that it surpassed the 2002 fire and became the largest forest fire in Arizona's history. To add fuel to the fire, officials from the National Meteorological Observatory pointed out on the 19th that seven states in the central and southwestern states have "extreme fire risks." Arizona is particularly at risk as strong winds fan wildfires across roads. Authorities have ordered the evacuation of at least 6,000 people in two small towns in the path of the Arizona fire. The fire was the largest in Arizona's history, and some homes were burned to the ground, but there were no reports of major casualties. According to the latest news from the fire department, 58% of the eastern fire was under control in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Some evacuated residents were allowed to return home, but power has not yet been restored.
