do you know how the fire was started?
Not at this time. The cause of the fire is currently under investigaiton. Once we get that informtaion, we’ll be sure to update everyone.
That has not been determined yet.
Is it likely that Pinetop and Showlow will be evacuated?
We don’t have that information yet, but if you live in those areas, I would strongly recommend preparing. The fire was last reported to be moving in a northeasterly direction.
Do you have a level of confidence regarding the ability to keep the fire to the east of Hwy 60?
Fire is pretty unpredictable. It depends on wind, humidity, and fuels. Right now, we could not answer that. Once we hear from the fire crew, we will know more.
How far away is the fire from the trigger point?
Unfortunately, we don’t have that informaiton.
From a distance it appears as if the smoke has greatly reduced viewing it NE of Show Low. Any indication of the fire lessoning? Or has just the winds shifted?
It may be because the winds have decreased substantially. Fire activity also tends to decrease during the night.
I’m sure in behalf of all residents, we want to thank you for your dedication to our areas safety. May all return home soon and back with their families.
Does it look like pine top lakeside will have to be evacuated ?
At the moment, that area is on pre-evacuation notice. There is a good chance that the area will be evacuated at some point, if the fire does not change course.
I HAVE A HOME IN SUMMER PINES JUST SOUTH OF SHOW LOW. I CAME TO PHOENIX TO CONDUCT SOME BUSINESS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. I SAW ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE FIRE. I WONDER IF SUMMER PINES IS SAFE ?

Please check update. Fire is about 5 miles south of Pinetop area and moving northwest.
Is the fire under control yet?
