The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office this afternoon updated evacuation orders for several neighborhoods impacted by the Pipeline and Haywire fires.
As of Sunday morning there was minimal activity in the fire as crews continued to monitor and make sure lines hold.
The blaze that began on April 17 has charred more than 19,000 acres and is 89% contained.
Coconino County officials say communities along the Highway 89 corridor have been downgraded from SET status to READY status for evacuation related to the Tunnel Fire. This includes communities north of Flagstaff, from Campbell Avenue to the north entrance of Forest Service Road 545 (Wupatki National Monument).
Fire crews were expected to remain working on the fire for several days to patrol for smoke and mop-up hot spots as needed, officials said.
