Current Situation
Situation Summary
10/6/2024:Crews will continue with their full suppression fire fight using the dozer lines and hand lines to keep the fire from any further forward progression. We will continue to fight the fire from the ground and the air using the Black Hawk and the Chinook (Type 1 helicopters), and our local Type 2 helicopter from Bald Mountain, dropping buckets of water on hot spots to assist with the fire suppression efforts. The fire continues to consume the unburned fuels within the perimeter of the fire. We have had spot fires caused from Juniper trees igniting and sending embers up to half a mile away. Our number one concern is for fire fighter and public safety. Crews will continue with mop up today securing the containment lines.
