Why are they calling it 'museum fire'? Is it affecting Hopi or Navajo peoples?

4. The Museum of Northern Arizona is one of the closest structures to the fire . . .

perhaps that is why the name was attached to it. Fire's are usually named for the closest structure, road, or natural landmark nearby. It does not appear to be near any substantial population at the moment but that could change.

For those wondering what this is about:

And here's a map of the approximate area of the fire:




(I'm in South California, by the way, and learned this through a quick internet search. Might be a useful tool to become proficient with yourself.)

8. Of COURSE ANY of us could do an internet search. The point is we shouldn't HAVE TO.

It is a discussion forum and when you post, even quickly, it is expected to at least come back to the thread to give some context.

13. Comment wasn't directed to you . . .

With that in mind, you'll see I had an opinion similar to yours.

10. Thanks for posting - I have friends who live in the affected area

Just texted them. I hadn't heard about the fire so appreciate your posting of the info.

11. It is very close to the major museum in flagstaff. Turning north upp 89a it is close to both

Hopi and Navajo land.
