Mandatory Evacuation Order Issued for Wickenburg Arizona as US-60 Closes at Milepost 111 With Evacuation Zone Spanning US-93 to Zabel Mine Road
WICKENBURG, AZ — A mandatory GO! Evacuate order has been issued for Wickenburg, Arizona by the Wickenburg Fire Department, covering a defined evacuation zone stretching from US-93 to Zabel Mine Road and spanning from the railroad tracks west of US-60 through to the east of US-60, with US Highway 60 now fully closed to traffic at milepost 111 as emergency conditions demand immediate departure from the affected area.
GO! Evacuate Order Demands Immediate Departure
The GO! Evacuate designation represents the highest and most urgent level of evacuation order issued by emergency management authorities, requiring all residents and visitors within the defined zone to leave immediately without delay. This is not a voluntary evacuation advisory or a warning to prepare — it is a mandatory directive from the Wickenburg Fire Department demanding that all people within the evacuation boundary depart the area as quickly and safely as possible.
The evacuation zone encompasses a significant corridor through central Wickenburg including areas around Calamity Wash, Cemetery Wash, the Transportation Department area, and extending southward through Reposa Heights as shown on the official evacuation map.
Evacuation Zone Spans US-93 to Zabel Mine Road
The defined evacuation boundary covers the stretch from US-93 to Zabel Mine Road, with the zone extending from the railroad tracks on the west side of US-60 eastward across the highway corridor. The blue-shaded evacuation area on the official map shows a concentrated zone running along the central spine of Wickenburg, affecting residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and community facilities within the designated emergency boundary.
Residents in Wickenburg Vistas, Frontier Village Condominiums, Reposa Heights, and all properties within the shaded evacuation zone must comply with the mandatory order immediately.
US-60 Closed at Milepost 111
US Highway 60 has been fully closed at milepost 111 as part of the emergency response to the Wickenburg situation, cutting off a critical transportation corridor through the area. Motorists approaching Wickenburg along US-60 are advised to turn around and seek alternate routes, as the highway closure is active and enforced at this time.
All residents within the mandatory evacuation zone are urged to leave immediately, take essential medications and documents, and follow official emergency management guidance until the GO! Evacuate order is officially lifted by the Wickenburg Fire Department.
