The Adobe Fire near Douglas burned about 300 acres and destroyed 2 out buildings before being put out.

Crews on Tuesday were mopping up a 300-acre brush fire that destroyed two structures near Douglas on Monday.

The Adobe Fire started Monday afternoon and quickly moved through dry vegetation about nine miles northwest of Douglas and west of the Bisbee-Douglas International Airport.

Winds pushed the fire across Double Adobe Road and toward Highway 191 before crews were able to stop its progress, according to a news release from the Department of Forestry and Fire Management.

More than 100 personnel worked the fire, which burned 335 acres and destroyed two out buildings.
