Washed out road & broken water line; Schultz wildfire, Flagstaff, AZ

In the aftermath of the Schultz fire that ravaged over 15,000 acres in the Coconino National Forest east of Flagstaff, Arizona, post-wildfire rains swept down drainages and caused considerable damage to homes. In this image, a waterline tramsporting water from the San Francisco Peaks to Flagstaff is exposed in the eroded roadbed. Photo taken on August 4th by City of Flagstaff Water Department.
