Current Situation

Situation Summary

Lower temperatures gave firefighters an advantage on gaining further containment overnight. The dry, receptive fuels made the fire spread quickly. However, an immediate response was key to stopping the forward progess early that ultimately mitigated threats to structures. Mop up will continue throughout the day.
