About the Freeman Fire
The Freeman Fire was a 32,568-acre lightning-caused wildfire in Pinal County, Arizona, north of Tucson. It was reported the night of July 11, 2024 and reached 100 percent containment on July 18, 2024.
Two lightning strikes ignited separately near Oak Well Camp and merged into a single fire. A sudden wind shift around 10:30 PM forced the evacuation of Willow Spring Ranch as fire behavior intensified rapidly. By size, it was the largest wildfire of the 2024 Arizona fire season.
