All of the approximately 1,000 residents in the southern Arizona community of Dudleyville were told to evacuate Thursday afternoon due to a wildfire.

The blaze, called the Margo Fire, broke out amid dry, windy conditions.

"It's going to be a challenging afternoon for firefighting efforts at the Margo Fire in Dudleyville," the National Weather Service in Tucson tweeted. "Expect sustained westerly winds of about 20 mph and gusts 30-35 mph with relative humidity values around 10%."

The high Thursday was forecast to be 88 degrees, with no significant weather changes in the coming days.
