Multiple agencies are responding to a structure fire in Old Bisbee. 

According to Carol Capas with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, the fire is near Star Avenue.

The fire started around 5:30 p.m.

It is unclear how many structures are at risk.

Multiple homes in the area have been evacuated according to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. 

Capas says the main concern is that the fire is on a hill and the wind could cause the fire to spread through the surrounding grassy area quickly.

Some of the agencies responding are, Bisbee Police, Bisbee Fire, Elfrida Fire Department, Naco Fire Department, San Jose Fire Department, and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.
