Hazen fire grows to 400 hectares, remains 0% contained — Fires Near Me

Fires near me: firefighters kept battling the Hazen fire near Buckeye, Arizona, on Monday after it began Saturday afternoon and expanded to about 400 hectares by Sunday evening.

The fire was estimated at 1,000 acres and remained 0% contained. Local media reported no evacuations and no reports of damage to homes, leaving rural residents with an active fire and no named evacuation order in the available report.

Buckeye fire size

By Sunday evening, the Hazen fire had spread across about 400 hectares, a footprint that placed the blaze well beyond a small start. The same estimate put it at about 1,000 acres, giving firefighters a larger area to hold as they worked through Monday.

The fire started on Saturday afternoon near Buckeye. That timeline leaves less than two days between ignition and the Sunday evening size estimate, a pace that explains why crews were still on it the next day.

Arizona rural fire report

The fire was burning in rural Arizona, and the available report said no evacuations had taken place. It also reported no damage to homes, which puts the focus on containment work rather than recovery from structural losses.

For people living near the blaze, the practical issue is immediate: the fire had not been contained as of Sunday evening, so conditions could still change quickly around the Buckeye area. The available report points to active firefighting, not a contained perimeter, and that is the fact residents need to watch.
