Today firefighters will continue to patrol containment lines. Inside the fire footprint there may be some heat still present. Firefighters will be mopping up any hot spots that pose a threat and can be safely accessed. Containment has increased to 83% percent.

There is a heat advisory in effect today and the ongoing hot and dry conditions increase potential for new fire starts. Crews are ready to respond to any new fire starts.

Fire suppression repair activities are underway along containment and contingency lines. Suppression repair is conducted to return the forest to the desired conditions and mitigate future environmental impact. To minimize erosion along roadways, crews will construct water bars under the guidance of natural resource advisors. Heavy equipment, including chippers, are operating in the fire area to repair lines and damaged forest roadways.
