Bryce Fire burning near the communities of Pima and Eden, Arizona.
Resources continue to mop up across the fire's perimeter. There is still some visible smoke within the fire's interior as pockets of fuel continue to burn off. On Friday, the Southeast Zone Incident Management Team will transfer command of the fire back to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management as a Type 4 incident.
There are no evacuations.
Stage 2 restrictions now in place in southeastern Arizona on state, federal, and some tribal lands. For the Department of Forestry and Fire Management the restrictions include State Trust land within Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pima, Pinal, and Santa Cruz Counties.
Gas and power companies continue with their reparis to infrastructure damaged in the fire. There have been no reports of damaged or destroyed structures.
The Bryce Fire started Wednesday, May 7, within the Gila River bottom near the communities of Eden and Pima. The fire was 80% contained on Thursday, but on Friday high winds caused the fire to spot over a nearly 30' containment line on the north side.
