The Jones Fire has ravaged over 100 acres of land near the Hassayampa River bottom in Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. Firefighters have managed to stop the forward progress of the blaze at 89.5 acres, but interior pockets are still expected to burn due to the brush fire.
Between eight and 10 RVs were destroyed in the fire, which is burning on both sides of the river bottom and US 60. No injuries have been reported.
Evacuation updates and maps are available, with Maricopa County issuing an emergency alert for residents in the area. The US 60 is closed at milepost 111, and APS has shut off power east of US 60.
A shelter has been set up at Wickenburg High School, and residents from the U.S. 93 to Zabel Mine Road, from the railroad tracks west of U.S. 60 to the area east of U.S. 60, are being asked to evacuate.
