The Contreras Fire started June 11 on a remote ridge of the Baboquivari Mountain range, north of the Baboquivari Peak, 20 miles east of Sells, Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
TODAY: Today, crews will follow similar burning operations from yesterday that are necessary to strengthen containment lines. These operations entail burning interior pockets of vegetation. As this work occurs, the fire’s acreage will increase; however, the fire’s footprint will change very little.
