Current Situation

Situation Summary

There was minimal fire activity across the Line Fire Wednesday, though there was still some smoldering and isolated flareups.  Mostly clear skies prevailed across the fire area today. Thursday is expected to be a little warmer and drier and then there will be a slight cooling trend over the weekend before another warmup next week.

Damage Inspections Teams (DINS) have completed their inspections. In all, four structures were damaged, and one was destroyed. 

There have been multiple drone incursions over the Line Fire area. Please be respectful of those fighting the fire and the community members who are impacted by fire. Never fly drones near wildfire. If you fly, we can't.
