OtherThe Dog House Two Fire began at approximately 420pm on Tuesday, July 26. Local crews initially estimated the fire at 10 acres, with one structure lost. Crews were able to stop the forward progression of the fire within the hour and dozers began constructing line on both sides of the fire's edge, working northbound. The fire is burning in heavy mesquite and extremely rough terrain. By 6pm, fire personnel estimated the fire to be 30 acres and 80% contained. Dozers secured line around the fire's perimeter and the engines patrolled the area and "mopped up" residual heat around the perimeter through the evening. By the morning of July 27, fire personnel estimated the fire to be a total of 19 acres and 95% contained. Two engines will remain on scene July 27 to mop up residual heat and patrol the fire area. The fire's cause is undetermined.
