Current Situation

Situation Summary

Firefighters continued to aggressively attack the fire from the air and the ground. Steep and rugged terrain, warm temperatures and the wind remain a challenge for firefighters.

 

There will be minimal humidity recovery overnight resulting in increased night fire activity. The upcoming weather will be hotter and dryer with lower humidity contributing to more fire activity when aligned with slopes and prevailing winds with active fire spread expected. Short range spotting is likely with potential fire movement, resulting in evacuation orders and warnings remaining in place until further notice. Firefighters will continue fighting the fire throughout the night.
