Community evacuated as fire threatens homes

MAYER - Residents of a central Arizona community were ordered to evacuate Wednesday morning after a lightning-caused wildfire threatened their homes.
All residents of the Pine Flats area south of Mayer were ordered to evacuate by the U.S. Forest Service as the fire grew after starting at about 4 a.m. Wednesday. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office was assisting in the effort and an evacuation center was set up at Bradshaw Mountain Middle School in Dewey-Humboldt, spokeswoman Susan Quayle said.
All roads into the area are closed and the public is being asked to stay away. The "Battle Fire" had burned about 200 acres and is moving into Pine Flats, where about 20 homes are located.
Mayer is located on State Route 69 about 75 miles north of Phoenix. |
