Size: 1500 acres
Containment: 35%
Date Started:  July 18, 2022
Injuries: 2


Fire activity moderated through the night, allowing crews to make good progress on the left side and head of the fire. Tough terrain has slowed firefighters progress on the right side of the fire, but containment will likely increase after crews access the area in daylight. Aircraft will continue to be used to support ground resources, and operations are normal at this time.

Injuries: One volunteer fire fighter was transported to the hospital via ambulance late yesterday due to heat illness, and one interagency firefighter was transported to the hospital due to a minor injury.
