A wildfire has destroyed several homes and forced evacuations in the small central Arizona mining community of Bagdad. Arizona forestry officials say the fire is fueled by dry grass and brush. ABC15 reported that their helicopter crew counted at least 15 homes that were on fire or heavily damaged. The Bagdad fire department said the entire town was evacuated.
