catclaw Report post Posted June 16, 2019 I wonder how the sheep are fairing with the big fire in the Superstitions right now. I remember when the Wallow fire killed a LOT Of sheep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted June 16, 2019 Hopefully they get out. Doesnt seem like this fire is moving all that fast like the Wallow fire did with the exception of yesterday. I definitely wouldnt turn down the tag if I drew it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted June 17, 2019 I was wondering the same thing. If it's hit hard I wonder if the tag holders with max use point guard after scouting it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catclaw Report post Posted June 19, 2019 Looks like the whole unit is going to burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is 15% contained as of this morning so we can only hope for the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 19, 2019 8 to 10 miles from Roosevelt, Spring Creek and the Estates headed in this direction. Very smokey and ash falling. Alot of resources working the ground. Hopefully the wind don't blow today like they are expecting. Gusts up to 30. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catclaw Report post Posted June 19, 2019 I get the impression they don't expect it to stop until the can contain it at 88/188. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest akaspecials Report post Posted June 19, 2019 They can contain the Northern push at 88/188. What about an Eastern push into that thick manzanita and scrub brush country? Looks like Pinto Valley is the first place they could really stop it on the East side? If the fire jumps onto Sawtooth Ridge and Pinto Mountain area this is gonna burn all the way to the mine.... Anyone know why it hasn't moved more northeast until it moved into Reevis yesterday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 20, 2019 They evacuated pinto mine this afternoon. The wind shifted a bit. The wind wasn't today as was expected. Good news for Roosevelt people. It's crazy the media ax like the fire is out. It's not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
