Current Situation
Situation Summary
With containment increasing, crews are working on fire suppression repair. This work focuses on repairing the impacts of firefighting operations – such as smoothing out dozer lines and installing drainage features for erosion control, grading damaged roads, and masticating concentrations of removed brush. These efforts help prevent future damage to water quality and reduce the lasting impacts of firefighting activities on the landscape. Firefighters are also continuing mop-up and checking for hot spots inside the perimeter.
