Fire activity remained active again today with moderate wind gusts
developing over the fire by mid morning.
- A change in strategy helped slow fire growth and increase containment after todays operational period.
- Crews from District 4, 1, and 3 conducted a burn out operation, which anchored the north and west flanks of the fire to Eustias Trail.
- A sawyer was ordered from Forestry to mitigate a number of burning dead trees, which were the source of embers and spot fires that compromised containment efforts.
- The fire remains actively smoldering on the interior and burning moderately deep in upper soil layers.
- Containment increased to 60%.
- Updated map will be available tomorrow.
