Fire officials say the Diamond Fire grew to about 2,500 acres by 8 p.m. and forced more than 1,000 people to evacuate. Fire crews started to battle the flames east of the Scottsdale city area, near 128th Street and Rio Verde Drive, Tuesday evening. As of Wednesday morning, fire officials say crews were “very successful” in the firefight overnight. However, winds and fire weather could be problematic Wednesday afternoon.
