Situation Summary
As of 6:00 PM, evacuation warnings have been lifted for the Silver Fire area. Fire crews have made strong progress, and the fire remains 60% contained.
Firefighters are still on the scene conducting mop-up operations—this means they are working to put out any remaining hot spots to make sure the fire doesn’t flare up again. Crews are also reinforcing containment lines to keep the fire fully under control.
In addition, suppression repair work is now underway. This includes fixing any damage caused during firefighting efforts, such as repairing bulldozer lines, reducing erosion risks, and helping the landscape begin to recover.
