9:30 Update Twin Starts Fire

Twin Starts Fire
Publication Type: Announcement -

Size: 420 acres estimated

Containment: 75%

Cause: Roadside Start

Date Started: 5/19/22


Crews on the Twin Starts fire made good progress constructing a containment line, bumping the containment to 75%. Acreage was updated to 420 to reflect better mapping and added burnout operation area. TAMFS heavy equipment is working to improve fireline in difficult to access terrain, and local fire departments are engaged in heavy mop-up operations in the fires interior. 12 structures were initially threatened and saved. All aviation resources have been released for the night. County motor graders have been released as well. The cause of this fire was a roadside start.
