The massive Arizona wildfire has begun crossing into New Mexico, and has consumed 672 square miles so far. Containment stands at only 5 percent. Health officials are urging precautions against the particulates in the air, thick with haze spreading across multiple states. The fire could eclipse the state’s previous record largest — the Rodeo-Chedinksi in 2002, which burned 732 square miles and destroyed 491 buildings.
