The Jacobson Fire held within its perimeter throughout the day today. Fixed wing retardant and helicopter water drops in combination with ground crews slowed fire progression today. Challenges that the crews are facing include steep slopes with many rolling rock hazards. 

Night resources will remain on scene in case of burning debris rolling downhill outside of the fire perimeter. Structure protection resources will be in place assessing the Turkey Flat recreation residences in the low-probability event that the fire continues to grow. Aircraft will fly over the fire tonight to gather infrared data to help inform responders of any remaining hot spots on the fire. A drone is on order to assist tomorrow in collection of infrared data to locate hot spots in some of the inaccessible terrain within the fire perimeter.
