Current Situation

Situation Summary

Incident Management Team 13 has taken command of this fire. Firefighters are currently protecting infrastructures in areas affected. Access is limited in the perimeter of the fire due to snags; fallers are working to mitigate the problem. With new fire growth in Beartrap Creek, crews and aircraft will prioritize suppression efforts for the remainder of the day, implementing full suppression tactics.

Ground crews continue to do hose lays, structure protection and dozer operations to establish control lines further. Tactical firing operations have been initiated to help protect structures and have been reported successful by fire personnel. As suppression tactics continue, the safety of firefighters and the public will remain our highest priority.

Fire is predominantly moving northward, fueled by timber in steep and rugged terrain. We expect a slow increase in fire behavior carried by upslope and upcanyon winds.
