Crews worked into the last night to increase containment on the Christine Fire. They were able to conduct a 200 acre burnout operation, removing unburnt fuel from in front of the advancing fire, creating a good secure area that is now marked as contained. Several aerial drops yesterday helped to lower fire activity and allow crews to attack the head of the fire. Once the fire stopped for the evening crews got some rest, with some local resources monitoring the fire.
The Christine Fire was caused by a roadside start and was responded to by local fire departments. Texas A&M Forest Service was requested and brought heavy equipment and aerial resources to assist. Two dozers are currently making good progress building line and several air drops on the East flank have lowered fire behavior. Additional heavy equipment is enroute from Fredriksburg and will staff the fire tonight. Crews plan to work into tonight and then come back in the morning to continue work. Conditions tomorrow will be dry and breezy with elevated fire weather concerns in the area.
