**Start Date/Time/Location** The Blind Fire, a lightning-caused wildfire, started on or around May 4, 2025, and is located 10 miles north of Clints Well in the Mogollon Rim Ranger District of Coconino National Forest, Arizona[3][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the last update on May 22, 2025, the fire has burned 6,329 acres and is 90% contained[2][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially, the fire was about 12 acres, but it grew significantly over the next few weeks. However, active management and firing operations conducted by fire managers helped control its spread[3][5]. **Containment Efforts** Fire managers began active management of the fire on May 14, 2025, including firing operations to treat about 5,255 acres of forest land. These efforts have been successful in reducing the fire's spread and increasing containment[3][5].
