Fire update

6/9/11
Incident: Wallow Wildfire

Apache County Sheriff’s Officials are in the process of notifying residents whom have sustained loss of their homes to fire damage in communities of Alpine and Nutrioso.

A reduction of fire behavior in these communities has enabled Assessment Teams to identify the amount of residential structures damaged (5) and the names of the property owners affected.

Sherriff officials are making personal contact with the residents whom have lost residents.

Property owners who have sustained loss of outbuildings will be notified by certified mail in the next few days or as more information is available by the Assessment Team.

Due to current fire activity and structure protection efforts in the Town of Greer, the Assessment Team has not been able to start the process in structure loss confirmation and identification.

Information on the impacts on the community of Greer is a priority and will be released as it available.
