Current Situation
Situation Summary
10/3/2024: The fire is burning to the north of Herring Creek Reservoir on either side of Forest Road 4N12. Overnight resources where able to get hose and hand line
around the main fire’s edge. Several spot-fires were discovered early this morning and still need to be lined.
Today resources will improve line by removing snags and brush along the line to minimize the risk to the containment line and utilize hose lays to begin mopping up the fire. Crews will continue to grid outside the main fires edge as several large spot-fires were discovered yesterday due to strong winds and torching of large Juniper Tress casting embers far in front of the fires edge
