Recent weather brought a warming and drying trend to the area, which increased fire activity in some portions of the Chilcoot Fire. Air operations increased accordingly. While smoke increased and is expected to persist through the weekend, there was no significant growth on the fire yesterday despite this change in weather. Photo taken September 15, 2023.
