| Planned Actions |
The Lost Bucket Fire has shifted to a monitor and patrol strategy. Firefighters successfully lined the fire and utilized hoses to cool interior heat earlier in the week. Several resources remain on the scene. The other resources will pivot to the other fires within the complex. Crews continue to build line around the Fuller Lake and Bullpup fires. Private firefighters, the BLM, and Team 5 resources are working together to establish line around the No Man fire in an effort to prevent the fire from crossing onto private land. Recently acquired heavy equipment will help construct fireline along the ridgetops. Firefighters continue to construct line and lay hose around the Reynolds Butte and Horse Heaven fires. Once constructed, firefighters will begin to spray water into the interior of the fire. |
