The Pipeline Fire six miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona was active Tuesday on the northeast side, north of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. The rest of the blaze was relatively quiet.

The Haywire Fire was active on the south side Tuesday.

A mapping flight Tuesday night put the Pipeline Fire at about 22,000 acres, and the Haywire Fire at about 5,000 acres.

From KAFF News, Wednesday morning:

With added resources that came into Flagstaff over the last day, it put more boots on the ground. With the winds lower, it brought out the air support.  On the Pipeline Fire Tuesday were two DC-10 aircraft, at least three large aircraft, and multiple helicopters and scout planes. Air support bombarded the fire through most of the day. On the Haywire Fire, fire crews saw the biggest problems. Stephen Fillmore from the Type 2 fire team from California working the fire tells KAFF News, Tuesday was a good day for fire crews. He says late in the day “the wind picked up and changed direction a little bit, which took the fire into some new fuels” which created a lot of smoke. Air attack used the rest of daylight to work on that fire.

A man was arrested Sunday in connection with starting the Pipeline Fire. He told officers he had ignited toilet paper after using it and placed it under a rock Saturday, and that he tried to put out the fire with his sleeping bag. His camp was 80 yards from where the fire started according to court documents. The probable cause of the Haywire Fire is lightning, but that still needs to be confirmed by investigators.
