Current Situation
Situation Summary
Fire activity overnight remained minimal, and no significant fire growth occurred. The fire continues to smolder in steep and very dangerous terrain. Aerial suppression efforts in those areas have been successful in keeping the fire subdued.
Cooler weather, higher humidities, as well as the absence of strong winds have assisted firefighting efforts. Damage inspections are ongoing. Priority remains to repopulate evacuated areas as quickly and efficiently safe to do so.
Please use caution while driving in the affected areas due to fire personnel and equipment still working in the area.
