The Cedar Creek Community has been placed under a PRE-evacuation notice. There are NO evacuation orders at this time. IF an evacuation notice is given, Cedar Creek would be evacuated to Round Valley Middle school in Eagar via Highway 73. Again, CEDAR CREEK IS UNDER PRE-EVACUATION NOTICE ONLY, THERE ARE NO EVACUATION ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
There is smoke in the Highway 73 corridor, but the highway remains open.
Please do not call 911 or the police department for information, you can continue to get the latest updates on this site or by calling 311.

Phoenix Channel 3 NEWS reported today (June 20) around 9:40AM that the fire “has exploded to 26,739 acres”. Is this true? If it is, how did Channel 3 get the information before 311info.net or the InciWeb sites were updated?
God Bless and protect all of the fire crews!
It has been posted. Once again, we do not try to be first to get it out, we wait to verify, and to receive the information from our verified sources.
If given an evacuation notice, how long would we have to leave? I live in Show Low and would need to drive to Lakeside to pick up my 97 year old father.
Jan,
IF we went to the evacuation status, you would have limited time to leave the area. You would need to head to Pinetop directly and then probably re-route to the 73 as you would not be allowed back into Show Low.
