Tuesday March 29 AM Update: #Presumido Peak Fire
Overnight the fire received intermittent showers which helped decrease fire activity significantly. Today, crews continue to secure the perimeter, using natural features and trails, as they take advantage of Tuesday’s cooler temperatures. The fire remains at 2,600 acres, but will be mapped again today. The fire is expected to be larger due to Monday’s fire behavior and activity, including wind-driven runs. At this time, 69 personnel remain assigned to the incident, including hand crews, engines, water tenders, and aircraft. The human-caused fire started Saturday afternoon within Presumido Peak, 20 miles N/NW of Sasabe. #AZForestry #AZFire #PimaCounty
