AZLance Report post Posted July 2, 2017 This is the ridge between Buehman and Bullok canyon... Fire moving down into Bullok Canyon right now. Fire is huge! My guess is everything east of Mt Lemon Hwy burns. On the way out they had closed Reddington Road at the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big or Bust Report post Posted July 3, 2017 It's worked uphill quite a ways, I'd say the fire is less than a mile northeast of Hitchcock Campground at the upper head of that canyon. It's in the thick trees at least some above 6k feet... We watched pines explode and slurries getting dropped before they closed the bottom.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
