Lightning-sparked blaze in the Catalina Mountains has grown to about 3,277 acres as fire crews attempt to box it in before it moves deeper into Pima Canyon.
About 200 homes have been ordered to evacuate immediately in the Catalina Foothills. Hundreds of others could be next.
Crews were conducting back burns near residences in effort to slow spread of the 6,200-acre wildfire.
