Sedona-area wildfire threatens state park

The Brins wildfire in Sedona spread into Oak Creek Canyon near Slide Rock State Park Sunday night and firefighters are continuing to fight the blaze using air tankers. State Parks staff evacuated the public from Slide Rock State Park on Sunday afternoon after the fire had been seen on Brins Mesa about 4 miles to the southeast and ash began to fall in the park. There is no estimate as to when the park will open again.
