    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     azchila shot these photos on May 14 of the wildfire currently blazing in and around Crown King, Arizona. 'Smoke and flames can be seen miles away. There are planes and helicopters dropping fire retardant on the fires but it just seems to keep growing,' she said. 'The fire has gotten worse and grown. It has destroyed over 1300 acres. YCSO confirmed that two firefighters were injured yesterday, one of whom was overcome with heat exhaustion. A national fire team is now in place to help contain the fire but the winds are supposed to pick up today which could make things worse.'
    - jmsaba, CNN iReport producer
