| Significant Events | August 13 5:30 p.m. update: Fire activity picked up significantly once the inversion lifted, and some firefighters were pulled back for their safety. Aircraft has been working to cool the edge since the air cleared, and several crews have gone back in to see if it is possible to re-engage. The fire has established across Boise Creek and was reported to be approximately 2/3 of the way up the slope to Antenna Ridge at 5:00 p.m. Fire managers anticipate that it will make it to the top of the ridge by the end of the burning period today. Lines at the top of the ridge were in place and crews are back in burning off the ridge to try to hold it there. The Orleans Lookout is wrapped. Crews will be on a swing shift tonight to continue burning along the 10N01 road tonight if conditions are appropriate.
