Update on Arizona Fire

Published June 15, 2011 at 5:00 AM PDT

The Arizona Wallow Fire might be the largest in the state's history, and it's only 5 percent contained.  The blaze has already displaced 10,000 people and scorched 600 square miles.  So how will firefighters contain it?  And why is Arizona expecting more fires like this in the future?  Arizona Public Radio's Dan Kraker gives us an update.
