In this Saturday, May 12, 2012 photo, a fire blazes in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest, near Payson, Ariz. The fire has grown to more than three-square miles as air tankers and helicopters assist ground crews in beating back flames. Tonto National Forest spokesman David Albo says the fire about 20 miles south of Payson was moving in a northeasterly direction and primarily toward a wilderness area late Saturday.
