On 5/28/21 at 3:54 AM EDT
An Arizona wildfire in Bagdad, a mining community in Yavapai County, has destroyed dozens of homes and the entire town remains under an evacuation order, local authorities said.
No injuries have been reported, while an estimated 25 to 30 homes were destroyed by the blaze dubbed the Spur Fire.
Fueled by dry grass and brush, the fire has burned 150 acres of land since it broke out Thursday afternoon, the Yavapai County Sheriff s Office said in a Thursday evening post on Facebook.
Fire crews have stopped the forward progress of the blaze, which was 25 percent contained, as of late Thursday, according to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (AZ State Forestry).

Our own survival is at stake : Arizona is using up its groundwater, researchers warn Ian James, Arizona Republic © Michael Chow, Emmanuel Lozano/The Republic The Central Arizona Project Canal runs through Scottsdale, Ariz., carrying Colorado River water.
In 1980, Arizona began regulating groundwater in the state’s largest cities and suburbs under a landmark law that called for most of these areas to achieve an overarching goal by 2025: a long-term balance between the amount of water pumped from the ground and the amount seeping back underground to replenish aquifers.
Forty-one years later, the state’s latest data shows most of the areas where groundwater is managed remain far from achieving a long-term balance, a goal known as “safe yield.” Groundwater is still overpumped in most of the state’s “active-management areas,” or AMAs. And in many places, aquifer levels continue to decline.
