The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports that the 1,148-acre Margo Fire at Dudleyville, Arizona has destroyed 12 residences and 5 outbuildings. Investigators have ruled out lightning, and say it is human-caused.
All closed roads have reopened and the evacuation orders have been reduced to “set” — be ready to evacuate if necessary.
On Saturday firefighters had a control line around the fire.
The fire started April 8 at about 9 a.m. Most of the spread was to the south along the river bottom through dense tamarisk.
Dudleyville is north of Tucson, on Highway 77 about 20 air miles north of Oracle.
