All News Seems to be BAD News-Wednesday afternoon

#Scott Pace
I am getting word that Bob Pollock just left town because he didn't feel comfortable staying with fire approaching. That is 2nd hand message, I don't want to(speak) for him. He had a waiver to stay, and just left. It doesn't sound good at all.

o  Kay Zahn DARN. . . I mean I'm glad if Bob left . . but darn !
            June 8 at 3:32pm ·

Hey everyone, this may be a tragic day for Greer. Allan Johnson with Molly's has been keeping in contact with good sources in fire teams, etc. The word is Greer is being engulfed at this time. Hearsay, at this point

            Kay Zahn OMG no

            Scott Pace I hope this is inaccurate.

            Kay Zahn The ABC15 update a few minutes ago, sort of sounded like it WAS pushing IN to Greer .. .

            Kay Zahn Just the way she pointed at the map . . .

            Dan Rakosnik Phoenix news channel 3 starts @ 4:30, they seem to have the best coverage of our local news sources on the fire

            Marie Zahn This morning it looked like Greer might be spared, looking at the map & direction of the wind. I'm horrified to hear this has changed. I haven't stopped praying for you all and will continue to do so. Greer is so beautiful, such a little slice of heaven. It makes me sick to my stomach to have it's beauty and it's homes threatened. My prayers are with you.

I just spoke to ‎Kristi Spillman and Mike Michael E Carter II and they are hanging around a place in Pine Top/Show Low with firefighters on laptops . .they the FF's will NOT confirm what we are saying about fire in Greer. . . .
June 8 at 4:24pm · 
#Kay Zahn
Channel 3 is reporting that the firefighters are leaving, but they won't confirm that either.

‎Dan Rakosnik just spoke with Mark wade, fire is in greer at the south end and he thinks it will be heading up the north fork side (NE) in the direction of Heaven Scent cabins. He's in Oklahoma trying to get back . .

            Kay Zahn yes - East side of the valley . . .but from the SOUTH ? that's the whole distance !!!

Is it up Wiltbank Ave yet???
June 8 at 4:49pm ·*
          o
            Kay Zahn It sounds like it's the EAST side . . so NOT Wiltbank which is on the other side.
            June 8 at 4:50pm ·          
o
            Kay Zahn but I'm guessing based upon last known info, if the Firefighters left, then we won't know anything for a while.
