Buddy Fire Daily Update 3/15/2022 9:00AM

Size: 1,325 acres

Containment: 90%

Date Started: 03/13/2022

Cause: Unknown

On Monday crews on the Buddy Fire continued to work with local resources and aviation resources to secure the fire perimeter. Containment increased to 90% and acreage increased to 1,325 as a result of more detailed mapping. Forward progression of the fire has been stopped. TAMFS crews completed a successful burnout operation on the north end of the fire to better mitigate the risk of interior pockets of unburned fuel from igniting. All aviation resources have been released from the fire, as well as the TIFMAS strike team.

On Tuesday, crews will continue to mop up interior hotspots and monitor the fire perimeter to ensure successful containment.
