State forestry crews remain on scene with the most recent information showing the fire as 35% contained, a post on the Florence Fire & Medical Department Facebook page stated.

As the fire blazed PCSO deputies were "evacuating an area including Dogwood Road, Pinebrook Road and Flint Lane in Cactus Forest,” AMR Central Arizona emergency services stated on its Facebook page. “This area is in a “go” evacuation status. Please evacuate immediately.”
