Fire growth has been moderate with overnight spread to the northwest and southeast. Fire managers expect occasional torching and small fire runs when the fire reaches pockets of heavier fuel loading. The fire is currently about one mile east of the Josh Ranch, and approximately three miles east of Blue, AZ.
