Papa and I drove into Tucson this afternoon. As we approached the city, we saw smoke in the mountains. It was a small amount of smoke, up one canyon. Within four to five hours, the fire had spread over a much larger area and is now (as I write this) burning up to the top of what is visible from the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, the northern boundary of the city of Tucson.
