Current Situation
Situation Summary
The Line Fire experienced minimal fire activity in the early morning hours Thursday. There is a slight chance of showers over the fire area today, and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday. Friday could also bring gusty outflow winds if thunderstorms develop. Warm weather over the weekend is expected to bring down the vegetation moisture levels which could lead to increased fire activity. Firefighters are strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots.
An updated Smoke Outlook was published Wednesday. It can be found at fire.airnow.gov.
There have been multiple drone incursions over the Line Fire area. This impedes our firefighting operations and can have deadly consequences. 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.
