YAVAPAI COUNTY, AZ — Some residents outside of Yarnell have been given READY evacuation status due to the Farm Fire.

READY orders mean residents should be prepared to evacuate, but are not yet asked to do so. A GO order was previously put in place but has since been lifted.

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says it's impacting residents who live along Iron Horse Road, Kirkland.

State forestry officials say the fire is estimated to be 40 acres and spreading.

It is unknown what sparked the fire or when the fire began.

The fire is currently burning approximately 30 miles north of Yarnell.
