Sawlog Evening Update 05-05-2025
Updated On: - 05/05/2025 / 19:11
With temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s today, the Sawlog fire behavior was limited to creeping and smoldering. The fire area received significant precipitation, with snow at the higher elevations. Firefighters made progress in the "mop-up" of residual heat in the smoldering fuels. Access to the fire over the high-water conditions in the Big Hole River will improve with the arrival of a boat to ferry firefighters across. The helicopters were unable to fly due to weather but will look to reposition to the helibase in Wise River tomorrow.
