Daily Update – 9:00 AM
Highlights: Yesterday both fires had moderate to low fire growth and smoke activity. Although very dry, yesterday’s winds were not as strong, which made large fire growth unfavorable.

Highlights: Fire activity and smoke production for both fires increased yesterday due to drier and relatively windier conditions.
