The Nuttall Complex Fire is threatening Mount Graham in Arizona, a site held sacred by the Apache and other tribes in the Southwest.
Mount Graham used to be part of the San Carlos Apache Reservation but is now in federal ownership. The site is being used for a telescope observatory that the tribe opposes.
The mountain is threatened by two separate fires that could merge.
