June 23, 2023 - Evening Update - Burn operations for today have concluded successfully. Approximately 1,592 acres have been accomplished. Crews have been able to complete both the south and north side of the Thomas Mountain Prescribed Burn.
Tomorrow the crews will focus on the interior area of the prescribed burn area. They will utilize aerial ignitions, which involve using aircraft to drop incendiary devices to help ignite targeted areas. This approach assists with containing the fire within the predetermined boundaries.
The fire is still burning within the unit and sending up smoke; at times visible from Highway 74. Crews will be monitoring and working throughout the evening. Operations will begin again tomorrow at 9am.
