QUEEN VALLEY, AZ — Evacuation orders due to the "Burr Fire" for residents in Queen Valley have been lifted.

On Thursday morning, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office issued a "Go! - Evacuate" alert for residents of the southwest region of Queen Valley due to a nearby brush fire.

The order has since been reverted to a "Set" status, meaning residents may return but should be prepared to evacuate again if necessary.

Queen Valley is located east of the Valley and east of Gold Canyon.

A "Ready" alert status has also been issued for residents in the north and west regions of Queen Valley.

Firefighters say an awning flew off a home around 10 a.m., striking power lines, causing the fire. It was contained around 11:30 a.m.
