TUCSON (KVOA) - The north and east side of the Redington area of Tucson is now in the GO! stage of evacuations. You are asked to leave immediately.
The remote area east of the town of Redington went under the GO evacuation order on Friday. The evacuation zone is now on the northern and eastern slope of the Catalina Mountains south of the Pima County line.
The southern boundary does not follow any specific road. Redington Rd will be closed at the end of the pavement.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department believes there may only be one ranch in the new GO zone but the area is a popular recreation spot for camping and four-wheeling.
Officials say winds will push smoke towards the northeast over the next couple of days. This will give the Tucson area a break from the haze. However, it will now affect the communities northeast of Tucson.
The Northern Rockies Incident Management Team is also keeping an eye on thunderstorms forecasted for Saturday in Cochise County.
A lot of smoke was reported near Saddlebrook Thursday. Crews chose not to use air support as the fire was burning at a low intensity through grass fuel.
Crew continue to monitor the north side of the fire. They added more buffer zones to protest those communities.
