Boyd, Texas - Crews worked over the night monitoring the fire to put out any heats that they found. Throughout the day today the crews will be monitoring the fire and driving the lines looking for heat sources. Last night dozers finished lining the fire and the local IC bumped containment to 90 percent. In addition with better mapping the total acreage burned has come out to 265 acres. At this time we can confirm that an abandoned structure was lost yesterday but 19 other structures were saved.
Boyd, Texas – Today Crews worked to contain and build dozer lines around the Valentine’s Day Fire. Two Large Air Tankers were utilized to drop retardant and slow fire growth, allowing ground resources to take more direct action against the fire and stop progression. Dozers are working their way around the head of the fire and will be moving down the left flank to completely line the fire. Crews are going to work through the night to build containment lines all the way around the fire and burn off some pockets of unburned fuel inside the fire perimeter.
