Current Situation
Situation Summary
Fire activity continued to decrease as the combination of fire suppression efforts and cool, moist weather worked to lessen the amount of smoldering and creeping throughout the fire.
Fire crews will continue to build and strengthen containment lines around the fire. 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.
