The Greer Fire was a wildfire that burned in the Apache–Sitgreaves National Forests and threatened the town of Greer, Arizona. The fire burned 20,308 acres (8,218 ha), and was 100% contained on May 26, 2025.[1] Greer was also severely affected by the Wallow Fire in 2011.[2][3]

Progression

[edit]

The area was put under a red flag warning before the fire had started, warning residents of conditions that would allow a fire to spread rapidly.[4]

Three state roads were closed due to the fire: State Routes 260, 261, and 373.[5]

Evacuation orders were issued for Greer, South Fork, and Amity.[6]

The fire was fully contained on May 26, despite interior pockets of the fire continuing to burn.[7]

Cause

[edit]

The Greer Fire District made a post on Facebook saying the cause was a damaged electrical transformer, then later redacted their statement in another post. A spokesperson for the Forestry Department, Tiffany Davila, announced that the origin was still unknown but being investigated.[6]

Effects

[edit]

There were minimal smoke impacts from the fire in Eagar and Springerville.[8]

An emergency closure was declared by Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest on the National Forest lands. There were evacuations for Greer, South Fork, and portions of Eagar.[8] Portions of State Route 260, State Route 261, and State Route 373 were closed.[6]

Multiple structures were destroyed and power was shut off in and near Greer. Eagar and Springerville released a joint Declaration of Emergency.[9]
