Kay Fire Contained Near Cave Creek

Good news from Cave Creek: the Kay Fire, which sparked near Sears Kay Ranch and grew to 42 acres in just two days, has stopped advancing. Crews, including hotshots and a helicopter, are still working to extinguish hot spots. Though smoke drifted toward Phoenix, the town itself was safe—five miles away and sheltered by wind blowing smoke northeast. The cause remains under investigation, but the fire’s proximity to Forest Road 24 suggests a possible human origin. Stay clear of the area as part of the St. Clair OHV Permit Zone remains closed, but the fire is now contained and no longer spreading.
