Some residents south of Dudleyville are being evacuated due to a wildfire that sparked Friday afternoon.
The Arcadia Fire had prompted some evacuations, but those evacuation orders have been lifted, according to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management.
The fire is estimated to be 121 acres and is burning in an agriculture field and river bottom. Officials say the fire is 70% contained.
The Arcadia Fire temporarily closed SR 77 in both directions, but the roadway has since reopened.
