Wildfires are both a hazard to life and property and a necessary component of the ecology of the Southwestern United States.

In 2017, Arizona experienced lower than normal winter precipitation, higher than normal temperatures, and a delayed-onset monsoon. These climate and weather conditions contributed to wildfire growth in the state.[1]: 1–3
