Residents in Maricopa County, Arizona, have been given the green light to return home after evacuation orders in areas affected by the Boulder View Fire in the Sonoran Desert were downgraded. State fire officials advise residents to remain vigilant despite the downgrading of evacuation orders.
The Boulder View Fire, which started on Thursday east of Carefree in Arizona's most populous county, has burned over 3,700 acres and was reported to be 63% contained as of Sunday evening. The fire containment efforts were successful on the east side of the fire after it reached the previously burned Wildcat Fire area and ceased spreading.
