Wildfire Mitigation
Summary
All APS feeders serving Show Low are now designated PSPS lines, meaning power could be proactively shut off for 20–24 hours during extreme wind and low humidity fire weather. Because of dense vegetation near the substation, few customers can be kept energized — most of the city could be affected. Residents can check their address at aps.com/PSPS.
