  Acres: 123,078

Percent Containment: 68%

Date/Time Detected: Friday, June 4, 2021, 1:30 pm       Structures burned: 22

Number of Personnel: 1,008

Cause: Human, under investigation

Origin/Location: South of Superior, Arizona  

Overnight structure protection crews in the El Capitan area protected values at risk.  During the night fire burned through El Capitan from the west and north, then later moved through the area again from the southeast. Structure protection crews are in place and will continue to mop up and secure values at risk.  About two miles south of the Grantham Ranch dozers constructed a containment line from SR 77 east to the San Carlos Reservation boundary.  The containment line was extended into the Reservation to the edge of the Mescal Fire by hand crews. Firefighters will improve, mop up, and hold this containment line today. East of Tuxedo Junction firefighters continued to monitor the burn out line previously established.  Mop up continues today along this line. Today firefighters will scout and identify feasible access routes to access the communications towers on Signal Peak.  The fire continues to back downslope on the south side toward Dripping Springs, Wind Spirit, Hagen Ranch, and Slash S Ranch.  Structure Protection forces will protect values at risk in this area today. Overnight on the north side of the fire crews patrolled and mopped up pockets of unburned fuel along U.S. Route 60.  Firefighters will continue to patrol and mop up today.  For information on evacuation status, road closures, and fire activity, there will be a virtual community meeting every day at 6 p.m. until further notice, on the Incident Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Telegraphfireinformation/
