SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — Firefighters said they had stopped the forward progress of a wildfire burning in southern Arizona Thursday.
The "Wildhorse Fire" is burning in Hereford, located southeast of Sierra Vista. According to officials, the fire has burned about 747 acres near Ramsey Canyon and is still burning. Officials said the fire is 45% contained as of Friday evening.
