An evacuation order has been lifted for residents of some communities near a southeast Arizona wildfire.

The Forest Service said Friday that fire crews will stay around Paradise and the Southwest Research Center to patrol the area for fires.

The U.S. Forest Service says west to southwest winds at 10 to 18 mph are expected with gusts of 25 to 30 mph.

Low humidity and slightly cooler temperatures are expected.

Meanwhile, the Horseshoe Two fire has risen to nearly 50,000 acres and is 40 percent contained.

Fire crews continue burnout operations which kick up a lot of smoke while burning away dead weeds, brush and trees that feed wildfires.

And, the Forest Service says the Arlene fire along the border has burned 10,610 acres but now is 70 percent contained about 5 miles east of Lochiel.
