Soldier Basin Fire, southern Arizona

Bill GabbertMay 26, 2013August 25, 2019UncategorizedArizona

We ran across some photos of the Soldier Basin Fire that burned 10,775 acres in southern Arizona six miles north of the U.S./Mexico border near Nogales, Mexico. It started May 17 and by Saturday May 25 had been 75 percent contained and turned over to the Coronado National Forest’s Sierra Vista Ranger District.

All of the photos are from InciWeb and are uncredited.
