Is anyone affected by this? If someone is MUD might be the last place they look but figured a post is worth it.

If anyone needs help shoot me a PM. Ill do what I can to help our community out.

My mother is staying with us tonight. Smoke issues with her assisted care facility.

We have been notified to be ready to evacuate but I am not seeing the fire heading into the Ventana/Sabine canyon area anytime soon

Hopefully it stays that way.. still fires on south side of the mountain but looks a lot more calm than it was yesterday.

From my house near Grant/Swan night before last. Last night there were significantly less.

Pix from first morning of the fire last Saturday.

Praying this isn't a repeat of 2003. We could use a surge of most air from Mexico about now.

I am having flashbacks to 2003 and the Aspen Fire. Have an ugly gut feeling we may loose Summerhaven again.

Fire looks to be cresting Samaniego ridge as I speak.

I did not know know about that fire back in 2003 until you mentioned it the other day. 84000 acres is crazy.. hopefully its not a repeat.

View today from my place, a big flair up in Cargodera Spr canyon (Sutherland trail). See the map. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/photos/AZC...related_files/2020_06_16-11.23.43.692-CDT.pdf

After I read about the prep going on at Summerhaven I have to agree that we need to be prepared for the worst.

I can't imagine being up there to defend this. These are from the North side (Oracle) moments ago, gets bigger by the minute. 30 minute time frame between the first and the last.

closer view - ugly

I have been watching from the flight line at DM and noticed those clouds getting bigger.. not looking good.

Heading towards Charouleau Gap - moving fast. 10min ago

our view of the Bush fire was just like that: every half hour, the fire got bigger and produced more smoke

Our view (Tucson Eastside) the night before last... My wife's friend/Co-worker lives in Summerhaven. Everyone is getting evacuated but her husband is the Sheriff so they are supposed to be the last ones out. As of yesterday it was 40% contained. Really hope the wind dies down unless it brings some rain.

Up to 31,000+ acres.

We received a robo call from the Oracle fire dept at 10 last night informing us that we are at "set" stage of evacuation.
Try going back to sleep after one of those. And jumping in a truck at 3am....
Fire is 10 miles away at this point.
I remember the Oracle Ridge Fire years ago that came to the back door. When friends would gather at a good vantage point 1/4 mile from the flames and watch the slurry bombers drop their loads. No mention of evac then. Times have changed.
