June 23, 2023 -Afternoon Update – You may have noticed more smoke this mid-morning through this late afternoon as weather conditions improved today, enabling the fire management team to carry out ground ignitions on the south side of the burn area. This area has been a challenge the last two day with the unfavorable winds. Subsequently, as the weather cleared up further, aerial ignition operations were conducted in the interior to consume unburnt fuels.
Additionally, the helicopter was utilized to perform water drops on certain interior areas and aid firefighters on the ground. This collaborative effort between ground and aerial resources helps enhance the effectiveness and safety of the prescribed burn operations.
The forecast of cooler temperatures and rising humidity is favorable for the ongoing management of the prescribed burn throughout the evening. These weather conditions can aid in the management of the fire, facilitating the objectives of the burn while minimizing risks.
