Daily Update for July 25, 2022
Updated On: 07/25/2022
Size: 227 acresContainment: 92%Cause: Hold Over LightningStart Date: July 24, 2022 Crews were able to construct dozer line around the fire's perimeter yesterday and contain the fire to 227 acres. The fire is currently 92% contained. One dozer will work with a strike team of 5 engines and a water tender this morning to "mop up" and patrol the fire's perimeter. Mopping up is a process where firefighters cool hot spots along the fire's edge to reduce the chances of the fire moving past its current perimeter.
