The Bureau of Land Management said the Lion Fire started around 5 p.m. and grew from three acres to 125 acres in less than a day.

The fire is located on the south of Crown King. northwest of Black Canyon City and north of Lake Pleasant.

On Tuesday, several air tankers dropped fire retardants, and crews continued to monitor and attempt to contain the blaze overnight.

There are no structures threatened at this time.
