APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. — Homes are being evacuated in Apache Junction due to a fire, according to the Apache Junction Police Department.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the department said officers are assisting the Superstition Fire and Medical District and the Mesa Fire Department with a "fully engulfed structure fire."
Due to that fire, Goldfield road was closed between 13th and Broadway avenues. The road re-opened at 8:39 p.m. This area is on the west side of Superstition Fire and Medical's regional training center.
Homes north of the structure on fire have been evacuated.
Police did not say what the structure on fire was.
This is a developing story and more details will be added as they are made available.
