The incident management team is constantly evaluating plans on the fire, weighing risks to responders and probability of success. Aerial resources are supporting crews to locate areas of heat on the fire and evaluating suppression options. Today’s weather is forecast to be the driest and hottest of the past week. Fire managers will evaluate strategic firefighting tactics and plan the next phase in safely fighting this fire.

Today’s map has been updated with additional divisions and two branches. This is due to the expansion in the number of firefighters and operational tactics. As fuel conditions, weather, and on the ground resources change, so do the tactics and strategy of fire managers. Yesterday, two hotshot crews were able to work in from different directions on the northwest perimeter (Div. W and U) of the fire. Further south on the western perimeter (Div. M), crews scouted for ways to work directly on the fireline.

Additional resources continue to arrive to support the next phases of the strategic plan. Firefighters continue to evaluateconditions to ensure strategic firing operations will; burn with low intensity to reduce the ground fuels, protect the integrity of the Middle Creek watershed and other key values at risk, and ensure the fire is within effective containment lines. These actions will continually be reevaluated depending on weather and fuel conditions.

Rain that fell over the fire area last night measured at one to two tenths of an inch. This amount of precipitation was not enough to extinguish large, downed debris and heavy vegetation. This cooled the surface fuels and slow fire activity in the same manner when helicopters drop water over hot spots. This will allow firefighters to focus on their efforts implementing strategic tactics including constructing indirect fire lines to suppress the fire in areas where terrain, fuels, and conditions affecting safety of firefighters are more favorable.
