The effect of the Wallow Fire and all of the other recent fires in Arizona, is only starting to be felt. One of the most dramatic problems is the flooding and erosion the occurs as a result of the lack of vegetation on the hillsides. Here are a couple of photos of the effects of the fire.
The first photo shows how recent rains immediately start carrying away the topsoil, while the next picture shows what happens to the sediment from the fire. Both of these pictures were taken just south of Alpine, near one of the larger burn areas.
