Last Update: Oct. 11 at 5pm
Authorities have reduced the evacuation status for areas affected by the Flood Fire in Pinal County, Arizona. The Panther Butte neighborhood has been downgraded from “SET” (pre-evacuation) to “READY” status, indicating a substantial improvement in fire conditions. This change allows residents to return to their homes and permits the return of previously evacuated horses and livestock.
Despite the lowered risk, fire crews will maintain a presence in the area for several days as they continue to monitor and control the fire. Residents are advised to remain alert to the possibility of changing conditions and to follow any instructions provided by local fire authorities.
The reduction in evacuation status suggests that the immediate danger from the Flood Fire has significantly decreased, allowing for a gradual return to normal activities. However, residents are encouraged to stay informed through local news outlets and official communications from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and fire management teams for the most up-to-date information on the fire status.
