Ground crews continue to construct containment lines and collect equipment near Sugarhill. The fire continues its backing behavior around Craggy Peak, allowing personnel to go direct in many locations.

The Tangle Blue Spot Fire has moved out of heavy timber and very little smoke is visible within the fire perimeter. Hotshot crews spiked-out at Stoddard Lake will continue constructing direct hand line for the next five to seven days.
