In its history, Arizona has battled major wildfires that have scorched large swaths of land, and now new ones are climbing up the list of largest acreage burned.

Both it and the Monroe Fire, burning further north near Monroe, Utah, are generating pyrocumulus clouds — sometimes called "fire clouds" — that form when air over a fire becomes superheated and rises in large, smoky columns. The massive clouds are visible for hundreds of miles and resemble the shape of an anvil.

A video shared by a local fire emergency team shows thick plumes of orange-hued smoke rise into the sky creating a fire cloud.
