Warnings in Place as High Winds Fuel Bighorn Fire Near Tucson

The Bighorn Fire burning in the Coronado National Forest near Tucson grew to nearly 17,500 acres and was at 40 percent containment on June 17 as gusty winds and high temperatures made conditions difficult for firefighters battling the blaze. According to reports, fire crews were continuing to see fire in the upper regions of Ventana and Espero Canyons on Wednesday. Red Flag warnings were in place for “strong gusty winds out of the southwest” and dry conditions, the report said. Evacuation orders continued for Mount Lemmon, including Summerhaven and Mt. Bigelow.
