"Greer Fire Update for Sunday, May 18th, 2025: The fire is 19,121 acres with no containment to report. More than 680 personnel are assigned to the fire.

Firing operations completed on Friday along HWY 260, State Route 261, and Forest Rd 409 proved to be successful yesterday as winds tested the fire’s edge. high winds will be another test for firefighters holding the lines.

@NWSFlagstaff

Map of Greer Fire in Arizona, May 18th, 2025
SOUTHWEST AREA Incident Management Team . Fire edge tested under critical weather conditions Personnel: Approximately 680 Fuels: Grass, Shrubs, Timber Containment: 0 percent Operations: Firing operations completed on Friday along HWY 260, State Route 261, and Forest Rd 409 proved to be successful yesterday as winds tested the fire’s edge. Crews were able to continue the largest remaining firing operation last night that connected Forest Rd 409 to the main fire on the south/southwestern edge. Today, all resources continue to secure the fire’s edge to prevent wind-blown embers from spreading the fire. Fire managers continually coordinate with Navopache Electric Cooperative to assess when it is safe to re-energize evacuated areas without power. The integrity of power lines and poles are still being tested from critical winds and potential damage from the fire. The incident management team’s goal, in coordination with the county emergency management and sheriff’s office is to re-populate and re-energize evacuated areas immediately once it is safe. Yesterday, a small area of heat crossed the line off Forest Road 373 north of Greer, illustrating how high winds continue to challenge control efforts. Numerous areas of residual heat remain close to the fireline and structures, where pockets of unburned fuel may ignite. To re-populate and increase containment, fire managers must ensure control lines are holding and hotspots near the perimeter are fully extinguished.

The #CampHouseFire (#Minnesota) still burns to the north of our place, but the damage is done!

1) The cabin I used to own... Gone!

2) Our sauna... Gone!

3) My old partner was about to start a refurb on the cabin.

He recently had a shipping container dropped there and had moved a significant amount of stuff out of the cabin.

The container and its contents were unharmed!

4) The real miracle is his homestead was spared.

No details available, but I think the fire got pinched between the clearing around the buildings and the stream/bog/beaver pond behind it (left side of this picture). Based on the tracks I also think the fire crews helped keep the flames off the 100 yr old barn seen here.

Word is he has no grid power, but his solar system is at least partially functional so he can pump water, keep his fridge cold, and keep his business going while he and his wife recover.

PS: Thanks to all the first responders and volunteers who are still fighting these fires!

"Local weather conditions (temperature, humidity, lack of precipitation, and strong winds) are important, but so are ignition sources (lightning related to CAPE) and fuel availability."
