**Start Date/Time/Location** The Broadway Fire began on Wednesday night, May 21, 2025, near the Arizona-California border, specifically just south of Blythe and close to the Oxbow Campground[2][3]. **Size and Containment** As of May 23, 2025, the fire has burned 713 acres and is 25% contained. Fire crews have managed to stop the fire's spread, and efforts are now focused on mop-up and dousing remaining hotspots[3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire quickly grew from its initial outbreak, threatening structures and infrastructure in the area. However, containment efforts have been successful in halting its expansion[2][3]. **Containment Efforts** Firefighting operations are led by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), with a focus on protecting structures, critical infrastructure, and conducting mop-up operations to ensure the fire does not reignite[1][3].
