Updated December 7, 2024 6:15pm MST

Brush fire causes disruption near US 60

A brush fire near the Superstition Freeway burned five-to-10 acres in the east Valley.

APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. - A brush fire burned around five to 10 acres near US 60 and Meridian Road on Saturday morning.

According to the Superstition Fire Department, the spread of the fire was difficult to contain due to fences, routes and other issues preventing access to the flames.

The fire was eventually extinguished, but fire personnel remained on scene to monitor hot spots.

The fire occurred near the Apache Junction-Mesa border, about four miles east of the Loop 202 Freeway.
