TUCSON, Ariz. — The Bighorn Fire has forced another evacuation notice east of the Santa Catalina Mountains Friday afternoon. Can anybody verify for sure that it’s there? So far it’s “climate change”, invasive species and 150 years of fire suppression that allowed an immense build-up of fuels. The Pima County Sheriff's Department has … Right now only residents and business owners can get up there.

That surely won’t be happening now. Nobody even started fighting that fire until the next day. “Dog hair thickets” and stuff like that. The number of personnel assigned has decreased by 112 since Monday. There were a couple of straggly, deformed survivors that steers were still chewing on but that’s it!So, there are places in the National Forests and National Grasslands where grazing might be O.K. There was a decade in the 1940s that was about as dry and possibly slightly dryer. Lemmon and the ski valley was, for the most part, saved along with all of the structures, picnic areas, cabins, camps and Summerhaven itself. The lightening strike was discovered very quickly. I recommend a little history on how our country’s wildfire policy developed and evolved.Dear Fred, the problem is all the rich elitists who (reside in Saddlebrooke, Ventana – you know all the “resort” and elitist communities that have swallowed up open desert, but matter “more” than the old (sometimes poorer” communities such as Summer Haven. About $21 million has been spent on managing the blaze.On Tuesday structure protection and containment work supported by helicopter bucket drops focused around Mt. Will the firefighters be able to keep the fire from crossing that line?Also, does anybody know how badly the Marshall Gulch area has been burned? The fire is almost out, but has burned 120,000 acres, which is virtually all over the whole mountain range and well down the slopes on the north side almost to Oracle and down the east side to Redington.
