| Total Personnel: | 120 |
|---|---|
| Size | 1,049 Acres |
| Percent of Perimeter Contained | 100% |
| Estimated Containment Date | 08/23/2023 |
| Fuels Involved | Brush and Timber (Litter and Understory) and Short Grass |
| Significant Events | The fire behavior today was minimal with few fuels in the fire area available to burn. Recent precipitation has caused live fuel moistures to increase, while dead fuel moistures will steadily decline due to forecasted hot and dry weather. Minimal fire behavior is expected. |
| Planned Actions |
Planned actions include continuing to monitor the fire perimeter, providing for a efficient demobilization of resources and completing remaining incident objectives. |
|---|---|
| Projected Incident Activity |
Thunderstorm activity potential should continue trending lower as the monsoonal moisture leaves the area and warmer, dryer weather sets back in. As this happens fuel moisture values will begin to steadily decline, leading to greater fire spread potential through the week and into the weekend. |
| Remarks |
The Incident Management Team will transition to a Type IV Incident Management Team at 0700hrs, Friday, August 4, 2023. |
| Weather Concerns | Fridays - No rain chances with monsoonal moisture being totally vacant of the region. Temperatures will be slightly warmer with most of the area warming into the 90s. Extended Outlook - No rain changes to mention for the weekend as temperatures continue to increase to near record levels for this time of year.
