Size: 540 acres
Containment: 85%
Cause: Rekindle from previously contained fire, originally started by power lines
Structures lost: 1 confirmed
Structures threatened: 0

The fire received beneficial rain today. Prior to the rain firefighters were pulled off the line due to poor visibility in the 60mph winds. The wind was followed by rain, which helped cool the remaining hot spots down. Crews went back out after the storm passed to check containment lines due to the high winds. Staffing is expected to reduce down to a few engines in the next few days since fire activity has become minimal.
