Fire behavior may increase over the next two to three days as forecasted relative humidity decreases. Scouting, planning and structure assessments continue in Black Canyon City, identifying structures at risk and their protection. Crews continue developing containment strategies, preparing for potential burnouts from control lines along roads and other features as well as continuing structure protection plans in Horsethief Basin and other areas of the fire.
Access into the Castle Creek Wilderness is limited by the steep terrain making it unsafe for firefighters to engage the fire directly at its edge. Fire managers are being strategic on the placement of firefighting resources to ensure safe ingress/egress.
WEATHER: Forecasts indicate a drying trend over the next few days which will increase fire activity.
EVACUATIONS: At this time, the communities of Crown King, Cleator and portions of Black Canyon City are in “READY” status, Lorena Gulch Cabins have been “SET” status and Horsethief Basin is in “GO” status in accordance with Arizona’s Ready-Set-Go Program https://ein.az.gov/ready-set-go
