Current Situation: As expected, fire activity remained consistent with the past few days and no fire growth occurred. Uncontained fireline in the northeast corner remains the highest priority and crews continued to secure firelines by extinguishing heat sources and removing fuels. On contained firelines, firefighters conducted patrol and mop-up operations, backhauled unneeded supplies and equipment, and conducted suppression repair operations.  

Today, as weather conditions allow, the bulk of resources will be working again in the northeast corner continuing with suppression operations.  Fire crews will contend with windy conditions and gusts up to 50mph which will present additional hazards and may limit support from air operations.  On contained sections, firefighters will continue to repair primary and secondary firelines by removing debris and branches that were cut during fireline construction and will also conduct other suppression repairs to prevent topsoil loss during future rainstorms. Patrol and mop-up and planning for suppression repair will continue on sections of lines that aren’t ready for suppression repair.  Looking ahead, fire manager are optimistic that firefighters will connect and strengthen firelines leading to increased containment.
