Cougar Creek Fire Update for Tuesday July 23, 2024KEY MESSAGE:Protection of values to the southwest and northeast edge of the fire continue to be the highest priority for recent operations. Exceptionally dry and hot conditions along with steep terrain make it challenging for fire crews to directly engage the fire in some areas.
