The wildfire in the Catalina Mountains, now called the Ventana Fire, is at 50 acres with 0% containment, according to the Coronado National Forest Facebook page. It started at approximately 3:36 a.m. and is located approximately two miles north of the Craycroft and Placita Alta Reposa area.Fire crews, smoke jumpers, air tankers are all on scene with additional resources en route.
KGUN9 has received pictures and seen the fire grow since 3 A.M. Jun. 20. The Good Morning Tucson team has reached out to the Coronado National Forest and the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management to confirm the fire's size and start-time. We will update this article and provide real-time updates on air. Three years ago this month, the Bighorn Fire was sparked by a lightning strike.
