Officials say they are making progress in controlling a wildfire burning in northern Arizona, now covering some 21 square miles. The containment is at just 25%, but the expectation is it will be a while before that figure goes down. The human-caused fire has emptied out a canyon area that would typically draw many holiday weekend visitors, but so far has not claimed any homes, though some mandatory evacuations remain in place.
