Wood Fire is the 3rd-largest wildfire this season in Arizona, burning 5 miles southwest of Superior.
Latest update
The Wood fire remains active and is primarily progressing to the east, south of Superior, Arizona on the Globe Ranger District. This fire is burning under moderate conditions in remote rugged terrain. This area was heavily impacted by the Telegraph Fire in 2021 and is now experiencing a much shorter natural fire return interval. Firefighters are working to mitigate impacts to infrastructure and other values on the landscape while this naturally caused fire burns under moderate conditions with lower temperatures, higher relative humidity, and scattered rain in the area.
Lightning-caused fires are a natural part of the ecosystem as they improve overall forest health and reduce fuel loads that have the potential to cause wildfires.
