Time-lapse video of the Monument Fire. Shot by Daniel Ellsworth near Sierra Vista on June 16, 2011, between 5:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., at which point he stopped taping because he was evacuated from the area.
The dozer was working to build a fire line, fort's commander
says. Water trucks will now be used to spray behind dozers.
Meanwhile, the much larger Monument Fire is holding in Miller
Canyon, above homes, but winds are a worry. Cost to fight it so
far: $4.1 million. Evacuated: 2,900 homes.
