Ignitions began at 10:30 a.m. and are completed. Crews will turn to patrolling and monitoring. 

Fire crews are looking to treat piles from 25 acres of thinning at Hopewell Lake Campground. The thinned trees were infected by Tomentosus root disease, which is naturally occurring but can create hazard tree conditions for visitors to recreation facilities. Visitors were able to use larger diameter wood for campfires. The remaining slash make up the targeted piles.
