Sierrita Range Brush Fire Extinguished Officials Say
Forest service officials reported the Sierrita mountain brush fire about 25 miles southwest of Tucson burned roughly 900 acres of forage land over two days and is now out. Lack of smoke created haze but no further aid requests have been received. Coronado forest authorities could not assist unless the blaze threatened the Arizona state line.
