The San Rafael Fire, which started on Saturday in Patagonia, is currently at 11,620 acres and 17% contained.
Jamie Donnelly Firefighters have been able to increase containment in Patagonia along the east side of the San Rafael Fire while preventing additional growth due to Tuesday’s milder weather.
Some of the resources will be diverted off the fire and prepositioned as an initial attack group to help catch and manage potential new starts, the news release said. Since there are some red flag areas in Southern Arizona, the Southeast East Zone Incident Management Team wants to ensure resources are staged and prepared to provide initial attack due to high winds and dry vegetation.
