Acres: 20,308  
Start Date: May 13, 2025 
Location: Greer, AZ  
Cause: Under Investigation 
Personnel: Approximately 513  
Fuels: Grass, Shrubs, Timber 
Containment: 88 percent 

Highlights: Mandatory evacuation orders were lifted Monday night as containment increases along the fire. 

Operations: Yesterday, milder winds helped firefighters secure more of the fire’s eastern edge. As a result, additional containment has been reflected on the map, and fire managers remain confident that the fire will stay within its current footprint. 

Today, firefighters continue to patrol and mop up remaining hotspots, with a focus on Division Romeo in the southern section. Suppression repair is also ongoing along all edges of the fire, including chipping remaining debris left from line preparation during last week’s firing operations.

Weather: Gradual warming and drying is expected to continue over the fire for the next few days, with the warmest day of the period coming on Thursday. Winds will be weaker, with gusts to around 25 mph on Wednesday and Thursday.
