BBB Warns Consumers About Potential for Fire-Related Charity Scams
The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about bogus charities that could be set up pretending to help fire victims. Many scam artists will try to contact consumers and businesses by phone, mail, or door to door and use high pressure sales tactics to get donations.
The Better Business Bureau suggests that you make sure that the charity you are contributing to is the one you think it is. Scam artists often use names that sound very similar to mainstream relief organizations.
Make sure the organization is experienced in disaster relief. There are many logistics involved with getting relief to victims, and you’ll want to select charities that have proven track records handling those situations.
Don’t write a check to an individual unless you know the person well. Make checks out to the actual relief organization.
If donating online, search the Website to make sure that the charity has a physical address on the site and that you’re using a secure site when entering account information. A Website is secure if an “s” is located at the end of the “http” in the URL.

ADOT Reopens SR 373 Near Greer
News release from ADOT:
The Arizona Department of Transportation reopened State Route 373, allowing traffic back into the town of Greer (mileposts 386-391). The Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona forced the closure of the nearly five-mile long highway, which is located south of SR 260, on June 6.
Although the highway is now open, ADOT urges drivers to be cautious as efforts continue to bring the fire under control. ADOT is working with fire officials and state emergency managers to ensure the safety of the traveling public and is assisting with traffic control.
In all, approximately 140 miles of state highways are still closed due to several major wildfires burning across Arizona or due to the threat of wildfires. ADOT reminds motorists that the following closures on state highways remain in effect:
US 191 is closed over a 77-mile stretch between Alpine and north of Clifton (milepost 176-253).
SR 261 is closed between the SR 260 junction and SR 273 junction (mileposts 395-413).
SR 273 is closed south of the Sunrise Ski area to the SR 261 junction (mileposts 383-394).
US 180 is closed east of Alpine to the New Mexico state line (mileposts 430-433). The closure extends another 20 miles in New Mexico, to the junction with New Mexico Route 12. For more information: www.nmroads.com.
In southern Arizona, SR 92 is closed between Ramsey Canyon Road and Coronado Memorial Road (mileposts 327-335) due to the Monument Fire south of Sierra Vista.
SR 366 is closed at milepost 118 leading up to Mount Graham (milepost 143) near Safford after the U.S. Forest Service determined the risk of wildfire is too extreme to allow access.
Additional information on the Wallow Fire and Monument Fire can be obtained through the Arizona Division of Emergency Management.
