Current Situation
Situation Summary
Warm and dry weather resulted in burning conditions during the heat of the day resembling those during fire season. Active fire spread was observed in all directions, except where slowed by suppression actions. Upslope runs occurred where wind and slope were in alignment.
Fire is burning in an area with no recent fire history. Mature, dense timber mixed with brush characterizes the fire area. Critically dry fuels for this time of year are contributing to fire spread.
