The Bighorn Fire.

The Bighorn Fire continues to force evacuations and closures as dry conditions have kept firefighters busy.

Rugged terrain and high winds have made it difficult to contain the Bighorn Fire. 

Crews have established firelines along roads and have reached 54% containment.

But the Tucson-area fire is burning near a number of populated areas, and spot fires remain a concern.

A number of communities have been evacuated and others remain on standby. The fire has burned more than 118,000 acres.

It is now the eighth-largest in Arizona history.
