Fire has burned nearly 19,000 acres on the Tohono O'odham Reservation.
Arizona Daily Star The Contreras Fire, burning southwest of Tucson, is now 40% contained but grew to nearly 19,000 acres this weekend.
The fire overran the property of the Kitt Peak National Observatory, but no telescopes or other science facilities appeared to have been damaged. Officials said Sunday that four structures — two out buildings, a dormitory and a residence — were lost to the fire on Friday morning. With some of the fire's boundaries contained, crews will be shifted to the Kitt Peak area to help with fire suppression activities on the northeast side of the fire, officials said.
On the western flank, the fire will be allowed to burn down the slope into more advantageous terrain that will allow crews to safely engage the fire, officials said.
