We continue to monitor unstaffed fires for growth and potential threats to identified values and are ready to respond if needed to protect values at risk.
Containment: 56%

Crews in the northern section of the complex continue to pull and backhaul equipment near Lime Village and cabins down the Kuskokwin River corridor utilizing boats. Firefighters continue repair work due to fire suppression activities. Personnel continue to monitor any changes within the Lime Village burnout and mop up as needed. These operations are expected to take three to four days
In the southern portion of the complex near Iliamna crews are pulling, backhauling equipment, and conducting repair work while preparing for opportunities to conduct backhaul missions near previously at risk values when weather permits.
Recent widespread rainfall has limited fire activity and is expected to continue over the next few days.
