A pair of Arizona wildfires, the Nuttall and Gibson fires, merged on Sunday near Mount Graham International Observatory, threatening about 100 summer homes. Hail and rain aided firefighting while a new blaze sparked Saturday on the mountain’s south side. Containment reached 55 percent as firefighters logged 29,000 acres since late June with more thunderstorms expected.
