Bryce Fire (AZA3S)

Wildfire Status:

The Bryce Fire, which ignited on May 7, 2025, near the communities of Eden and Pima in Arizona, has now reached 100% containment after burning 3,294 acres. Initially, the fire was reported to be 80% contained by Thursday, but high winds on Friday caused it to breach a nearly 30-foot containment line on the northern side. Despite this setback, firefighting efforts were successful, and the incident has since been turned back to the local district for further management.

Fire agencies, including the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, have been actively engaged in combating the blaze. Firefighters worked through the night to suppress multiple spot fires and assess areas for additional resources to engage effectively. Recent updates indicate that fire activity has moderated somewhat, allowing crews to reinforce existing control features ahead of anticipated critical fire weather conditions.

The current weather conditions are contributing to the firefighting efforts, with the recent wind patterns previously exacerbating fire activity. As a precautionary measure, due to ongoing severe drought conditions and increased fire risks, southeastern Arizona is entering Stage 2 fire restrictions, which will limit certain outdoor activities to mitigate fire hazards further.
