SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — More than 1,100 people remain evacuated from their homes Wednesday as Arizona fire officials determine if a containment line will hold up in windy conditions. Crews successfully dug a containment line overnight around the brush fire in northern Scottsdale, a city just east of Phoenix, that has burned 3.9 square miles (10 square kilometers) and threatened about 100 homes. Scottsdale officials said 1,145 people remain evacuated. Meanwhile on Wednesday, Arizona officials applied for a federal grant for funding to aid the battle against the Diamond fire.
