The Cave Creek Complex fire was the second worst wildfire in the state of Arizona to date, the largest being the Rodeo-Chediski fire. The fire started in June 21, 2005 by a lightning strike from the raging monsoons and scorched 243,950 acres (987 km²).

[edit] Trivia

-Within an hour, the fire had already burned from 2,000 to 10,000 acres (8 to 40 km²).

-When news agencies were covering the story, a FOX news affiliate captured video of a historic mining area destroyed by the fire as soon as the fire touched it. The mine was a total loss.
