Activities – An overnight infrared flight mapped the fire at 877 acres, an increase of 26 acres. Thermal imagery shows that most of the acres burned were within the existing footprint of the fire with some new fire growth downslope from the southern edge of the fire. A 1.5-mile hose lay remains in place along the Whitefish Creek Trail to check fire spread as it approaches the trail. Work along the shaded fuel break today will continue with chip, slash, and log removal being accomplished by local contractors with equipment and log trucks.
