Ya sucks, transformer failure do to wind, happens alot around Springervale . There going to start shouting power off up here in Payson on bad days. But APS doesn't seem to have these fire problems. But there going to shout it off, SRP should be shouting it off up there. Just me, prayers to all affected.

SRP doesn’t supply the power.

Was up there this week, crazy windy. Lots of down trees. 

Same here - some of the gusts were insane!

Heard a rumor that X Diamond is gone. Hoping that's not true, and it looks like the containment line on Inciweb hasn't changed/gotten closer to South Fork in a day or two. 

Anyone have confirmation that the ranch is gone or that it is still standing?

Someone from the ranch came on FB rather irritated and said everything at South Fork and X-Diamond was OK and not to believe rumors.  So that is good.  The have walked back the transformer cause and just say under investigation.  However, a Greer local told me from a resident that the transformer caused the house to burn up almost immediately.  There is a 6pm meeting in the RVHS Theater.  Bet that is not going to be a pleasant meeting.  Very little official info is being put out there.  Residents need to get back to their homes -- some have pets in them.  The new boss did a 4.5 minute interview and gave a pep talk without one pertinent update and no factual data was presented.

I heard that Navapache denied the transformer rumor and Greer fire says it was simply a brush fire that spread.  Who knows🤷

That is the USFS just not wanting anyone in there.  They are holding the lines pretty well the last 2 days with a lot of backburns ("firing operations" = apparently backburns is offensive) and dozer routes.  The area in the map above is way, way bigger than the fire perimeter.

Residents allowed to return to homes tonight. Power restored. Forest still under closure order in the immediate area.
