Ranch Fire in Santa Cruz County remains at 2,751 acres, now 60% contained
The Ranch Fire, a 2,751-acre wildfire burning in Santa Cruz County, is 60% contained as of June 8, according to InciWeb, a federal website that tracks wildfires. Sparked by a lightning strike to a tree on June 4, the fire is burning about 19 miles southeast of Patagonia in the San Rafael Valley. Fueled by dense grasses and brush, strong winds have driven the flames from state land into the Coronado National Forest. Throughout the week, large air tankers worked with crews on the ground to suppress the flames, aided by cooler overnight temperatures and increased relative humidity. Crews are continuing mop-up operations along the fire's perimeter and within areas of heavy vegetation, as they work toward full containment. The Santa Cruz County Office of Emergency Management has downgraded all residents to the "Ready" phase of the "Ready, Set, Go" emergency response system. Approximately 56 personnel were assigned to the fire as of June 6 — down from 135. This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Ranch Fire remains at 2,751 acres, now 60% contained
