Overview
- The brush fire, first reported Saturday near Hazen and Rooks roads, burned about 275 acres in the Buckeye river bottom.
- State Route 85 near the Gila River reopened in part as crews kept some closures for visibility and safety.
- Dense salt cedar and mesquite limited safe access, so crews used controlled burning inside containment lines and natural barriers to hold the perimeter.
- Arizona Public Service cut power to nearby lines for safety, reported equipment damage, and restored service to some customers.
- Officials reported no injuries or structural losses, advised nearby residents to shelter in place, and opened an investigation into the cause.
