Situation Summary

Smoke will be visible within the fire’s boundary for potentially several weeks and is not a concern as firefighters will be actively patrolling the area and conducting mop-up. Remember that crews remain in the area; please use caution when driving.
Temperatures will continue to increase today into the low 100’s with relative humidities ranging from 15-20%. Similar conditions are expected on Sunday.
