CURRENT SITUATION: Friday night, firefighters continued making great progress mopping up established containment lines, especially in the priority areas to the north in Wrightwood and to the southeast in Mt. Baldy Village. In all areas of the fire, firefighters are identifying and strengthening secondary contingency lines. Damage inspection teams will also continue their assessments in affected areas today.
 

Although a one-acre spot fire got established across a drainage in the Mt. Baldy area yesterday, a hotshot crew was successful in containing it and will complete line around it today.
 

The most active area of the fire was on the north flank in the Blue Ridge area where fire is backing down toward campgrounds. However, in the Wrightwood area firefighters continue to make good progress with direct attack and structure protection as fire has moderated in that area.
 

The east side of the fire was less active, and on the west/southwest side firefighters are constructing dozer line on the edge of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness boundary from Rattlesnake Peak.
