event_narrativeThe human caused Sawmill Fire started 10 miles southeast of Green Valley near Box Canyon and quickly spread east northeast for 20 miles across southeast Pima County and burned 28 percent of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. As it crossed State Route 83, two miles of guard rails and supporting posts were destroyed along with several power poles and road signs. While no structures were damaged, about a hundred residents of rural communities such as Singing Valley were evacuated for a day or two, including nuns from the Santa Rita Abbey. The road was closed for 3 days because of the wildfire. The fire was 94 percent contained by the end of April after burning 46,991 acres. No additional acreage was burned before the fire was fully contained on May 4th.
