#WallowFire Evacuations Lifted for Springerville, Eagar, and South Fork
Apache County Sheriffs Office Lifts Evacuation of Springerville, Eagar and South Fork
On Sunday June 12 at 10 am, the Apache County Sheriffs Office, after consulting with fire officials, has lifted the evacuation for the residents of the Springerville, Eagar and South Fork areas.
It has been determined that fire conditions have diminished enough that they will no longer be a threat to the citizens of the towns.
It should be noted, however, that the smoke still poses serious health hazards as has been outlined by Chris Sexton, Apache County Health Director, and the smoke problems may continue for weeks.
Because of the health problems associated with the smoke from the Wallow Fire, Apache County Public Health Services District and the Emergency Operations Center warns residents of Eagar, Springerville and South Fork that it would be best not to return to their homes until the concentration of smoke diminishes.
