Acres: 8*

Containment: 44%

Personnel: 198

Thanks to the continued efforts of our firefighters, the Jacobson Fire reached 44% containment today. The Southeast Zone IMT will reduce resources as fire activity diminishes. 

This morning, helicopters flew in blivets (portable water containers) for ground crews and helped haul supplies off the mountain. Ground crews continued to address heat within the fire perimeter. 

Tonight, night crews will continue to monitor the fire and ensure that the fire remains within control features. Drone pilots will fly infrared flights tonight and early tomorrow to identify hot spots in steep and inaccessible terrain. 

If you decide to drive up Mount Graham on Highway 366, please drive slowly and with caution. Even though some resources are being demobilized from this incident, there continues to be a high amount of fire traffic, both in vehicles and on foot. Please protect our firefighters by driving slowly, especially around corners. 

The public should continue to avoid Ladybug Trail #329 and Turkey Flat Trail #330, as firefighters continue to work in the area. 

*Mild increase in reported acreage due to more accurate mapping.
