We're staying on top of the latest happenings from across the Valley, state, and our nation for Monday, May 4.
www.abc15.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment. Here’s what I can share based on recent reporting up to early May 2026 and how you can get the latest Hazen Fire updates quickly.
Direct answer
- The Hazen Fire refers to a fast-moving brush fire in Buckeye, Arizona that began around May 2, 2026. Early updates indicated large acreages burned with containment gradually improving over subsequent days, with sources reporting containment levels in the 40–80% range as crews built lines and patrolled the perimeter. For the very latest status (acres burned, containment percentage, and active threats), please check a trusted local news outlet or the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (AZDFM) updates.
Where to check for the latest
- Local TV stations in the Phoenix area (e.g., FOX 10 Phoenix) frequently provide hourly updates during active incidents.
- AZDFM and state forestry/fire agencies publish incident pages with current containment, acreage, and containment status.
- Local emergency management social feeds (city of Buckeye, Buckeye Fire Department) often post real-time advisories about evacuations, road closures, and air quality.
Tips to stay informed
